VULHUB ™

A vulnerability exists in MacOS 9.2 that may allow a local attacker to use Internet Explorer to access restricted applications. Helper Applications in Internet Explorer will still be executed regardless of the access controls put in place to restrict the execution of said applications. A malicious user can create a Helper Application that causes a restricted program to be executed. This issue may result in a local attacker gaining elevated privileges. Since Netscape also has the same Helper Application functionality, it may be possible to use it in the same manner. Though this is unconfirmed.
