Default New nasty browser URL spoofing exploit

This affects all web browsers that support IDN functionallity. That's basically all browers OTHER THAN IE. (Microsoft actually dodged a bullet this time by making their browser NOT compliant with web standards. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] )

Default Re: New nasty browser URL spoofing exploit

the mozilla/firefox fix could not be easier.

if you don't want to read the article...

type "about:config" in your address bar and press enter (leave out the quotes)

scroll down to network.enableIDN

change it to false (just double-click it i think)

done.
