As most of you know, someone from Jabadoo Communications in Germany
discovered a bug today in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 which allows
reading of files off of users' hard drives.
I found the following on the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web Site:
[http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ :
"Fix Now Available for "Freiburg" Text-Viewing Issue
Internet Explorer 4.0 users can now download a fix for the text-viewing
issue that was reported to Microsoft from a firm in Freiburg, Germany"
I found that further information concerning the bug and the patch can be
downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/security/?/ie/security/freiburg.htm
Hope this helps!
