Hello Full-Disclosure!

I want to warn you about Denial of Service vulnerability in
Internet Explorer. Which I already disclosed at my site in 2008 (at
29.09.2008). But recently I made new tests concerning this
vulnerability, so I decided to remind you about it.

I know this vulnerability for a long time - it's well-known DoS in
IE. It works in IE6 and after release of IE7 I hoped that Microsoft
fixed this
hole
in seventh version of the browser. But as I tested at 29.09.2008,
IE7 was also vulnerable to this attack. And as I tested recently,
IE8 is also vulnerable to this attack.

Also I informed Microsoft at 01.10.2008 about it, but they ignored
and didn't fix it. They didn't fix the hole not in IE6, nor in IE7,
nor in IE8.

That time I published about this vulnerability at SecurityVulns
(http://securityvulns.com/Udocument636.html).

DoS:

Vulnerability concerned with handling by browser of expression in
styles, which leads to blocking of work of IE.

http://websecurity.com.ua/uploads/2008/IE%20DoS%20Exploit4.html

Vulnerable versions are Internet Explorer 6 (6.0.2900.2180),
Internet Explorer 7 (7.0.6000.16711), Internet Explorer 8
(8.0.7600.16385) and previous versions.

To Susan Bradley from Bugtraq:

This is one of those cases, which I told you before, when browser
vendors ignore to fix DoS holes in their browsers for many years.
