RE: Computer TerrorismSecurity Advisory (Reclassification)- Microsoft Internet Explorer JavaScript Window() Vulnerability

["Leif Sawyer" <lsawyer () gci com>]

Happy Top-post Monday. :-)

Running:
        Mandriva 2006  2.6.13.4  SMP

Firefox 1.5b2 (with no plugins)
   Succombs immediately with no output. A click on the close-app 'X'
   brings up the window-manager kill screen for unresponsive
applications.

Mozilla 1.7.11 (20050729)  (with no plugins)
   Seems to also succomb, but it does slowly start to render some
strange characters.
   Application doesn't respond to close-window, but a click on the
close-app 'X'
   brings up the window-manager kill screen for unresponsive
applications.
