Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 share a logic flaw. The issue is actually more severe, as the two versions of the Microsoft and Mozilla browsers are not the only ones affected. In this regard, the vulnerability impacts Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 but also Firefox 1.5.0.9. Microsoft has stressed the fact that IE7 on Windows Vista is not affected in any manner.

Konqueror asks the user for confirmation when sending a local file
And I would hope this is exactly what will be done with Firefox. That feature along with whitelisting support should be sufficient, and I mean jeez - how often do people upload to a website. Usually one uses just a few such sites regularly (email, photo sharing...)
Not sure about IE, Microsoft has a habit of doing stupid things to "fix" exploits.

By default, Konqueror asks the user for confirmation when sending a local file. Simple and effective, whatever tricks the webpage may use to set the input to a malicious value.
