- Comments
- Christey> Consider adding BID:3867 | Christey> According to Microsoft, the fix for this issue also addresses: | BUGTRAQ:20020227 IE execution of arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX (GM#001-IE) | URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=101496184505815&w=2 | | Need to add this reference (and/or double-check to make sure | this is the right issue) and consider modifying the | description accordingly, though on the surface there | does not appear to be any close relation, since the | GreyMagic bug deals with Data Source (DSO) | for Data Binding with the dataFormatAs attribute set to HTML, then | using innerHTML for script injection. | Frech> XF:ie-codebase-execute-programs(7941) | Christey> Add BID:3867
