(InfoWorld) - Hackers are taking advantage of aÂ newly discovered vulnerability in Internet ExplorerÂ to install spyware on PCs that visit a number of Russian porn sites. The malware, first reported Monday by researchers at Sunbelt Software Inc., takes advantage of an unpatched flaw in the way IE processes Vector Markup Language (VML) code. VML is a language used to display graphic information on the Web. The attack appears to work on all versions of Windows running the IE 6 browser, said Eric Sites, Sunbelt's vice president of research and development. "It's not an operating system-dependent issue," he said. Sunbelt first discovered the malware on a Russian porn site late Friday. "This site and a couple of others use an exploit kit called Web Attacker, and it looks like the Web Attacker kit has been upgraded to include this new exploit," Sites said. Since Friday, Sunbelt noticed that the attack code has popped up on about a half-dozen Russian porn sites. In addition, since security researchers estimate that Web Attacker is used by nearly 1,000 Web sites, this latest exploit should soon become more widespread. Web Attacker is a software development kit sold for as little as US$20 to criminals looking for an easy way to develop malware. "Since it's being built into the next version of the Web Attacker kit, we expect that this thing will be everywhere in a few days," said Sites. Whether the attacks will be widespread enough for Microsoft to rush to patch the flaw remains to be seen. On Tuesday, Microsoft confirmed the Sunbelt team's findings, and said it planned to fix the VML bug in its next set of security patches, scheduled to be released on Oct. 10, "or sooner as warranted," according to a statement from the company's public relations agency. This is the second unpatched flaw found in IE over the past week. On Sept. 14, researchers posted code that could be used to exploit a different vulnerability in a multimedia component of Internet Explorer. Microsoft is still investigating that flaw and is not saying whether it too will be patched next month. Sunbelt says that users can avoid the VML attack by disabling Javascript on their browsers.

As pointed out by the Zend Developer Zone and several other blogs/community sites lately, the latest version of the HTML filter HTML Purifier has been released - version 2.2.0.   Because it uses whitelists and a comprehensive knowledge of the HTML specification, it is bullet-proof against XSS, fixes malformed input rather than reject it, and is open and extensible. The 2.0.0 release lets users customize HTML Purifier's tag sets easier than ever before.   You can check out the official release announcement for of the updates in this release (including a comparison to other similar libraries). There's also a demo they've posted so you can give it a try.

Just two days before it was to&#160;end support for Netscape Navigator,&#160;on Wednesday AOL gave the browser a last-minute reprieve, saying it would extend support until March 1.At the end of December, Tom Drapeau, the director of AOL&#39;s Netscape brand, surprised users when he stopped development of the browser and set Feb. 1 as the date when his team would stop issuing security updates.Yesterday, Drapeau pushed out the support end date a full month, saying that Netscape and its partners needed more time to wrap up work on tools designed to help users migrate to the Mozilla Firefox or Flock browsers.&quot;Mozilla, Flock, and AOL are working together to provide tools to ease the migration of existing Netscape browser users to our recommended Flock and Firefox alternatives,&quot; said Drapeau in an explanatory post to the Netscape blog. &quot;AOL support for Netscape browsers has been extended one month, to March 1.&quot;In addition, an upgrade will be issued to Netscape 9 users through the browser&#39;s integrated update feature to &quot;streamline the process of choosing from these two great browser alternatives,&quot; Drapeau said.Flock was a new recommendation from Drapeau, who last month cited only Firefox -- the code successor to Navigator -- as an alternative, but Flock had been touted by others on the Netscape team earlier this month. Flock, a free browser that stresses social networking features, is built on the Firefox code base.Drapeau didn&#39;t specify what tools were in the works, but presumably they will include some kind of Netscape-to-Firefox migration assistant. Currently, the only way to move a user profile from the former to the latter is to manually copy the Netscape &quot;profiles.ini&quot; file and its folder to Firefox&#39;s directory. Flock, on the other hand, recently unveiled version 1.06, which includes Netscape migration features.Nor did Drapeau elaborate on the reasons for Netscape&#39;s demise. In December, he named &quot;AOL&#39;s current business focus&quot; and an inability to revive Navigator&#39;s moribund market share as motivators for the move. At the time, however, sources close to Netscape called out AOL upper management&#39;s lack of interest and funding as the real reason why Drapeau pulled the plug.According to one source, the lack of resources meant &quot;we would not have been able to offer releases in a timely manner, which would have been a disservice to the brand as well as the end user.&quot;Coincidentally, Mozilla celebrated its 10th anniversary just last Tuesday, Jan. 22. Several months before it was acquired by AOL, Netscape Communications Corp. in early 1998 announced it would release the browser&#39;s source code, a move that led several weeks later to the formation of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, and eventually the creation of Firefox.Last month, Asa Dotzler, currently Mozilla&#39;s company&#39;s director of community development, and one of the first paid employees of the Mozilla Foundation, said good riddance to Netscape on hearing Drapeau&#39;s news. &quot;I&#39;m glad that sad beast has finally been put down,&quot; Dotzler said in a post to his blog. He also didn&#39;t buy Drapeau&#39;s explanation for putting Netscape to rest.&quot;The real truth is probably closer to &#39;we weren&#39;t building a compelling enough product to be able use it to bring users to our ad-supported world and it doesn&#39;t make sense spending more on browser development than we recoup in increased ad revenue as a result of that browser work&#39;,&quot; said Dotzler.Computerworld is an InfoWorld affiliate.
