In depth

A closer look at Microsoft Internet Explorer and quot;Download Behavior and quot; Vulnerability Patch

IE 5 includes a feature called "download behavior" that allows Web page authors to download files for use in client-side script. By design, a Web site should only be able to download files that reside in its domain; this prevents client-side code from exposing files on the user's machine or local intranet to the Web site. However, a server-side redirect can be used to bypass this restriction, thereby enabling a malicious web site operator to read files on the user's machine or the user's local intranet. This vulnerability would chiefly affect workstations that are connected to the Internet.
