Re: Reappearance of an old IE security bug

[aleph1 () SECURITYFOCUS COM (Elias Levy)]

All reports so far seems to indicate this IE warning was a false
alert.

"Jason M. Taylor" <jtaylor () precisioncs net>:

I tested it on a Windows 98 SE box running IE 5.00.2614.3500 and got the
following, "Exception while fetching
image:com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[example0.action]: cannot
connect to "www.microsoft.com"". The security was set to Medium. All of         the updates on the Windows Update site 
at Microsoft have been applied
to the box as well.

I have IE 5.00.2916.6307 [i don't think that's 5.01 but i upgraded to it, go
figure...] running on Win 98 and it didn't work.

"PrairieWeb Support" <support () prairieweb com:

This does not work on Windows 2000 IE 5.00.2920.0000 or 5.00.2920.0016 .
