Re: Microsoft Security Advisory (935423) Vulnerability in Window
said by KachiWachi  :I guess you don't visit myspace often then swhx7.  Well, seriously, if you or anyone can give me a link to a page that has this in it (harmless .ani file that is), I'd like to check it out. PM is OK. |

OK, I can see Fireferret/Moz browsers being vulnerable if a page can get them to call the Windows routines for using a new cursor from an .ani file instead of the regular cursor the user already has going on. But how would that happen?
In several years of surfing with Mozilla/Seamonkey I've never had the cursor become animated. If it did I would have immediately found a way to prevent it, because I find that sort of thing intolerably annoying.
This must not be confused with the substitute cursors that can be specified with stylesheets. With some CSS you can make a compliant browser use a question mark or crosshairs, for example, instead of the usual pointer. An ani cursor, I presume, would be actually moving on its own. |
