Re[2]: [Full-Disclosure] Another IE trick (Re: IE sucks : sun java virtual machine insecure tmp file creation)

Dear Eric Paynter,

Yes, it's possible and I always recommend to deny execution in user's

permission to open. Of cause, in this case then trojan gets executed
it's harder to infect system, but it's still possible to steal some
information.
