I don't know if this bug it's a "serious one" or not, i only posted a "url redirection flaw" and i think that its dangerousness and importance should be inferred from the type of vulnerability and the site which is affected... I am still a beginner in the field of security , i still have much to learn.. Neverthless i think that the open redirect vulnerabilty it's serious, because "This vulnerability is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious sites without realizing it." ( http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Open_redirect) , this flaw increase its dangerousness if the site it's trusted and , IMHO, i think tha nVidia ( it is better or worse than ati i don't know ) is trusted and can easily used by an attacker or a phisher to spread malicous software or to take similar actions. Moreover with Xss flaw the open redirect become more serious! (always IMHO) However the admin was alerted, so i've done my job....

Independent Professional Open URL Redirection Vulnerability Reporting? Can you cite any of these statistics you're talking about because to be quite honest we think you're making this up, along with everything else. Linking to some actual statistics will improve your full- disclosure credibility greatly. How did you determine the 50/50 probability or is that just based up on made-up numbers as well? I thought Len Rose removed all the trolls from this list, why are you still here? On Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:00:27 -0400 Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote:

I'll give it a 50-50 chance that somebody will get to send NVidia an email saying "Good, you fixed the URL problem. Now about that XSS...."
