<p><strong><a href="http://www.itpro.co.uk/blogs/daveyw/2009/11/22/ie-6-and-7-hit-by-hack-attack-code/">IE 6 and 7 hit by hack attack code</a></strong></p> IE6 and 7 have what looks like a buffer overflow vulnerability caused by a strange intersection of CSS, innerHTML and large JavaScript arrays. No exploits in the wild yet but it’s only a matter of time. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ie6">ie6</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ie7">ie7</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/microsoft">microsoft</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/security">security</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2008/01/ie7-2/">IE7.js version 2.0 (beta)</a></strong></p> Dean Edwards has updated IE7, shifting enhancements that weren’t fixed by the real IE7 in to a new script called IE8. You can also now hotlink the library directly from Google’s servers, though I don’t know how intended Google Code’s subversion repository is for that purpose. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dean-edwards">dean-edwards</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/goode">goode</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google-code">google-code</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ie7">ie7</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ie8">ie8</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a></p>
