A security researcher has credited McAfee for helping him to develop exploit code that cracks open an unpatched
flaw in older versions of Internet Explorer.
Moshe Ben Abu (AKA Trancer00t) developed exploit code for the flaw in IE 6 and 7 in knocking-up an exploit module for the open-source Metasploit exploit database.
"I didn't find the vuln', just found it in the wild. With a little help from McAfee (
Computer Security Research - McAfee Labs Blog) :-)," the Israeli security researcher noted in a Twitter
update on Thursday.
