Egads, not another vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Say it isn’t so.

One week after hiding Internet Explorer attack code on his Web site, security researcher Aviv Raff has posted details on how to launch the attack.

The bug lies in the “Print Table of Links” feature, which lets IE users print out a Web page along with a list of all the links on the page tacked onto the end. Raff discovered that if an attacker added special scripting code to a Web page, he could then run unauthorized software on the PCs of IE users who printed using this feature.

The flaw affects IE 7 and IE 8, Raff said. Security vendor Secunia said that the bug also affects IE 6.

They have classified this one as “less critical” believing that because of the many steps involved people won’t be as vulnerable. The thing is, people are like sheep. They will do exactly what they are told sometimes. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone reading this post has already clicked the link and is halfway toward running the malicious code.

I imagine that more people get in trouble with Internet Explorer than they do watching women in sexy shoes dance in front of them.
