Safari Flaw Worse Than First Thought, Microsoft Warns
« on: June 02, 2008, 04:39:31 PM »

Microsoft is warning that a previously disclosed flaw in Apple's Safari browser could have dire consequences for Windows users.

The Safari bug, originally disclosed on May 15 by security researcher Nitesh Dhanjani, allows attackers to litter a victim's desktop with executable files, an attack known as "carpet bombing."

So, in Ballmer-ese, it's something like:  Internet Explorer leverages its synergies with Safari to create a more enriched end user experience.
