Yahoo fixes Web mail bug
August 17, 2006 2:47 PM PDT
Web giant Yahoo has fixed a security flaw in its Yahoo Mail service
that exposed user accounts to cyberattacks.
The flaw involves how Yahoo Mail handles attachments and was discovered
in early August by Israeli security company Avnet, according to various
online news reports. An attacker could hijack a user's account after a
malicious attachment was opened, these reports said.
"Online security issues are taken very seriously at Yahoo. We developed
a fix for this bug and deployed it last week," a Yahoo representative
said Thursday.
Because Yahoo Mail is a hosted service, users don't have to take any
action to be protected against potential attacks that exploit the flaw,
the representative said. "There were no documented cases of this
vulnerability being exploited prior to our fix being released," the
representative said.
The flaw could let an attacker craft an HTML attachment to an e-mail
and bypass Yahoo Mail's security filter to execute malicious JavaScript
code, according to an IDG News Service report Thursday.

The Beavis Troll
It's nine o'clock on a Friday night,
and Beavis has nothing to do,
So here he comes, logging in,
He's gonna start flinging his poo.
He says -- Challenge-Response is the greatest thing
Since inventing machine to slice bread.
So what if it doesn't really work at all?
Everyone knows: I'm brain dead.
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Post some more crap, you're the Beavis troll,
Post some more crap while you drool,
Everyone knows that you won't read this post,
Your FAQ says why - you're a fool.
Now Beavis is screaming his fool head's off,
Because noone believes what he says.
Even Bigfoot knows that he's full of it,
He's mostly just flatulent gas.
We say: Beavis has nothing, no sense at all,
But his kookfarts are funny as hell.
They always manage to make us laugh,
And how did he get such a smell?
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Post some more crap, you're the Beavis troll,
Post some more crap while you drool,
Everyone knows that you won't read this post,
Your FAQ says why - you're a fool.
