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.”
