There’s been a new flaw found in Internet Explorer that focuses on IE’s inline frames, and affects Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 beta 1, the security flaw could subject users who visit a malicious Web site or open a malicious e-mail message to arbitrary code.

“iframes,” or inline frames, often are used for serving ads, which typically come from a different domain than content that appears on the same Web page.

U.S. CERT describes it as,

“Microsoft Internet Explorer fails to properly restrict access to a document’s frames, which may allow an attacker to modify the contents of frames in a different domain.”

Linking to internal posts is good for SEO but can be at times really a pain if you don’t know the permalink of the post, you will have to search through the published posts list to find out the permalink of the post.RB Internal Links can really ease the way you link to old posts from newer posts.

RB Internal Links is a wordpress plugin lets you easily link to posts and pages within their wordpress blog without having to enter the full URL , It uses wiki style tags to define a link to the post or page.The wiki code can be inserted manually or by using the wysiwyg plugin.

INSTALLATION :

1. Download rb-internal-links plugin from here.
2. Upload the “rb-internal-links” folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Activate the plug-in
4. Browse to Options > RB Internal Links to take a look at preferences

Note : For this plugin to work you need the Rich Editing Enabled and wysiwyg enabled in your wordpress installation.

To manually link a page/post:
At the place you would like the link to appear write

<!`--{post id="post-slug/post-id" text="link text"--`>

removing the tick (`) if you copy pasting from here.

Using the tinymce wysiwyg editor:

• Make sure you’ve ticked “enable wysiwyg editor” on the plugin preferences page.
• Select the text for which you want to link.
• A new icon will appear on the wysiwyg toolbar, it looks like a page with a link over it Clicking on the icon will pop-up a toolbox. [ Image 1  ]
• Select the category the post you need is in or alternatively, choose pages for a list of pages
• Click on the post or page you wish to link to  [ Image 2 ]
• Fill in the optional properties for the link  [ Image 3 ]
• Click “Insert Link”

WP 2.5.1 does not show the post id’s, so only the post-slugs can be used, which can also be a bit a bit hard to find.I feel the TinyMCE WYSIWUG Editor is the better way of using this plugin.

I think this plugin should be a part of Wordpress, I hope this makes it into the upcoming versions of Wordpress.

Just a few days after the release of Firefox 3.0 a Code execution vulnerability has been found in Firefox 3.0 that puts millions of Firefox3.0 users at risk of PC takeover attacks.

According to ZDI’s alert, it should be considered a high-severity risk:

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, permitting the attacker to completely take over the vulnerable process, potentially allowing the machine running the process to be completely controlled by the attacker. TippingPoint researchers continue to see these types of “user-interaction required ” browser-based vulnerabilities - such as clicking on a link in email or inadvertently visiting a malicious web page.

The vulnerability affects not only Firefox 3.0 as well as prior versions of Firefox 2.0.x.

So until Mozilla’s security team ships a patch, just be a bit careful while browsing and while clicking links.
