With the recent release of IE7 you would think people would be cheering the upgrade that should have come years ago. This new release from Microsoft also brings a new bug or should I say an old bug that was first reported in November 2003. The error occurs when handling the redirection of URL's with the MHTML URI Handler. This vulnerability can also affect other version of Internet Explorer. Secunia has a proof of concept that can test your browsers vulnerability to this bug. Microsoft originally blamed this problem on Outlook Express and offered patches and work around but did nothing to Internet Explorer. Even with this problem I would still recommend upgrading from IE6.
