| 346991 | 2005-04-20 04:33:00 | According to Secunia these are the status of the current vulnerabilities to browsers. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x 19 = Vulnerabilities Open 10 = Warnings 51 = Vulnerabilities Fixed Mozilla 1.7.x = 03 = Vulnerabilities Open 01 = Warnings 15 = Vulnerabilities Fixed Firefox 1.0.x = 04 = Vulnerabilities Open 00 = Warnings 11 = Vulnerabilities Fixed Opera 7.x = 00 = Vulnerabilities Open 00 = Warnings 35 = Vulnerabilities Fixed Netscape 7.x 09 = Vulnerabilities Open 00 = Warnings 13 = Vulnerabilities Fixed Lesson: Not all browsers are secure and even Opera had 35 vulnerabilities. Something to consider. |

| 346993 | 2005-04-20 05:04:00 | ...Lesson: Not all browsers are secure and even Opera had 35 vulnerabilities. Actually, Opera had 35 fixed vulnerabilites. You also have to read about the individual vulnerabilites to see how serious they are and to decide whether they apply to you. Boooooorrrrriiiiiinnnnggg. |

| 346995 | 2005-04-20 05:36:00 | Secunia (http://www.secunia.com) is the easiest security site to read. But it is still mind-numbingly boring. | vinref (6194) | ||
| 346996 | 2005-04-20 05:52:00 | And, how the maker responds to the vulnerability (www.greymagic.com). Remembering of course, when you talk of browser holes, for instance, they are not always merely browser holes but holes in the OS or other software. Re the above linked advisory, take note of the discovery date. |

| 346999 | 2005-04-20 06:01:00 | Ah, but what is the level of vulnerability? There's a difference between a vulnerability that redirects people to different sites, and a vulnerability that gives people full remote root/administrator access to a PC |

| 347000 | 2005-04-20 06:07:00 | Ah, but what is the level of vulnerability? I think Metla said it better than me. Lesson: No browsers is secure, Software by default can be hacked.Its only code..... My real point is that any browser is insecure at some time and people should be aware of that. Therefore, they need a host of other programs, ad-aware, spybot, anti-virus, OS hardening, etc, etc. to ensure their security. |
