    New IE7 flaw

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7784908.stm

    Does anyone have details on how this works exactly? Various people where I work are in a panic and I want to get my head round it before saying "all is fine!". And as a side question, does anyone know of a good website for finding out stuff like this in future. It's painful hearing "raaargh, really bad flaw, 10,000 sites on fire already!" without any other details, stuff like that does actually cause panic (good for news I guess?)

    Thanks
