ACER Laptops: Now with Free Backdoor.

January 9th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

An interesting tidbit of news has come across the wire from F-Secure. While playing with a preloaded library from an Acer laptop (LunchApp.ocx) they came across a method of using a specially crafted webpage to install malicious software. The best part was that the library is marked "safe for scripting" so no warnings or messages are displayed when these actions are taken.
