Really now… Is anyone surprised?  Although the vulnerabilities aren’t supposed to be high risk, there is potential for sensitive data to be leaked.

The French Security Incident Response Team said in an alert that the IE vulnerability, which also affects IE 6, could be exploited in phishing attacks, scams that try to trick people into giving up sensitive information such as credit card data and Social Security numbers. The problem exists because of an error in the way the browser handles certain “onunload” events, the security monitoring company said. Attackers could exploit the issue to spoof the browser address bar, FrSirt said.

The petition is posted on the 10 Downing Street section of the government site and will be sent to the prime minister’s office after it closes on 20 April. It calls on Tony Blair to put pressure on Microsoft, “to stop them overcharging the UK for its Vista operating system”.

It points out the “huge difference in the price that people in the US and the UK are paying for Windows Vista”, claiming that Vista Ultimate (the premium version) costs £350 in the UK but can be bought for £150 ($298) in the US.
