- Possible RSS Abuse In Longhorn
-
dMill writes "There has been a lot of discussion about Microsoft's decision to bake RSS into Longhorn (see previous Slashdot coverage) but the obvious security implications seem to be on the back burner. eWeek has a story discussing the risks and Don Park is also warning about the potential for abuse and exploitation. For example, the primary mechanism behind podcast, RSS enclosure, can be used to deliver worms and worse to the desktops. If there are any vulnerabilities in iPod (or any MP3 player hooked up to podcast sync client) codec, then podcasting is a good way to deliver overflow inducing content."
Not even on the market yet and the exploits are beginning to leak.
