In some mail from David Schwartz, sie said:
This is a total non-issue. Almost every attack vector that could place a malicious DLL in the same directory as IE could replace IE itself or snap screen captures. SSL is not intended to protect against attacks on either endpoint. This is like complaining that your safe doesn't keep people from breaking your windows. Of course Microsoft has no intended fix, nothing is broken.
[...] Oh rubbish. Signed applications and signed DLLs and signed drivers. Well all of those aren't there yet (only drivers for Windows), but it's coming to a Unix near you SOONER rather than later. Or is that the kind of thing you disable upon installation because it gets in the way of you being able to install whatever "you" want ? Darren
