| Well,
JavaOne was a huge success. Traffic to our booth kept us on our
toes and we had a chance talk to quite a few customers. Our web
site also saw record levels of download traffic. We’ll be
busy through the summer following up. The ICEpdf product has also
seen significant customer interest and is being incorporated into
a number of existing ICEbrowser installations. Thanks again.
Encouraging feedback from the show and in public articles below
has to do with security concerns around IE and the inherent security
of Java SDK’s, such as ICEbrowser. We believe that as enterprise
web applications continue to proliferate, security will be an overriding
concern. The roll out of Web Services will only make this requirement
more urgent, most likely lead to further standards evolution. Web
client security is a central benefit of ICEsoft products and a key
element in our future product road map. Look for more in future
product releases.

validate the security context of a frame that has been redirected
by a web server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability
to evaluate script in different security domains. By causing
script to be evaluated in the Local Machine Zone, the attacker
could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running IE. Read more at http://networks.org/?src=cert:713878 |
