KaZaA - Bad ZoneJan 07 2003 06:53PM David Krum (bugtraq jonespg net) (1 replies)
To follow up my mid Oct post:
KaZaA is still launching ads in the local zone. KaZaA was contacted 6 Jan
03 via their bug report page.
"Pop-up ads are being spawned from the local hard disk. This puts them in
the local zone. Scripts running in this zone can be harmful."
I am now awaiting their response.
To immunize KaZaA from this defect I have removed the permissions from the
directory it launches ads from. This has a nice side effect of not showing
ads. The directory to secure is: %WinDir%\AdCache
