Description Josh Bressers 2005-01-04 13:15:34 UTC 
Secunia has also reported a download dialog URL spoofing issue
http://secunia.com/secunia_research/2004-15/advisory/

The problem is that long sub-domains and paths aren't displayed
correctly, which therefore can be exploited to obfuscate what is
being displayed in the source field of the Download Dialog box.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2005-01-04 13:19:27 UTC 
This issue should also affect RHEL2.1
Comment 2 Christopher Blizzard 2005-01-04 18:17:06 UTC 
Over to caillon.
