Tom Ferris, of Mission Viejo, California, published his findings just hours after Microsoft released the beta code. His findings are posted online. Right now the bug can be exploited only to crash the browser, but Ferris says it's likely that his attack could eventually be modified to run unauthorized code on a user's machine. The vulnerability appears to be exclusive to Internet Explorer Beta 2 browser, he says. "This is a completely new bug. I've never actually seen this in any browser before."
