Re: Patches Galore!


I believe the reference is to IE's willingness to display false information in both the URL box and the status bar.

Oh, that's sort of true. The glaring URL box issue was fixed several months ago but that was a big snafu by Microsoft, it went unpatched for an inexcusable amount of time. The status bar text can be changed in IE but that's not a huge vulnerability. Many of the issues with UI spoofing and window resizing have been fixed in SP2.
