DirectX vulnerability found

Look at that, not even 10 minutes, and I've got a new post.

Alex Eckleberry's posts over at the Sunbelt Software blog should be required reading for anyone concerned with security; I read everything over there.

Today he's got something in an ActiveX control that seems to be potentially dangerous, allowing for arbitrary code execution (really bad) and crashing any app using the control (also quite bad.)

Yet another reason to use Firefox. ActiveX was a good idea, but now, not so much in my opinion.
