    Microsoft warns of dangerous IE browser vulnerabilities

    http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/m...85?tag=nl.e589

    Summary: The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user simply views a specially crafted web page using Internet Explorer.

      It isn't just IE. Browser plugins, as a class, have become rich targets of attack. What's worrisome is that many (but not all, true) of these are cross-platform.
