[Full-disclosure] Internet Explorer 0day exploit

[LIUDIEYU dot COM]

Well said. This class of attack has been known for a long time - got
public in 2004 as Paul's links indicated. Since then it's widely
understood and heavily assessed ... mms: mailto: HCP: notes: etc.
Thor's finding is a surprise - years passed and an extremely simple
vector of attack still works in IE.
