Hello,

today there was a short article posted in german www.heise.de
(http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/52317), that reported about some
studies a polish security expert called Michal Zalewski made towards the
handling of improper HTMl-pages. Testing candidates where Internet
Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox and Opera. With the ie alternatives he
expierienced the most crashes, buffer overflows etc. as the article
pointed out.
He has published some test cases. You can find them following the Link
called "Demonstration" (BE CAREFUL !) in the article found in the above
URL. I've just a few of them myself with Mozilla 1.7.3 resulting in
Mozilla crashing.

So I suggest that any Developer should have a look at this, because
advantage in security above ie is a big reason for why people begin to
choose more and more ie alternatives like e.g. Firefox.

best regards
Marko Steinberger
