e4engineering: Not a Pretty Picture

9/16/04 (via feed).
This is just the most recent of a ton of recent reports on this security hole. I'm posting here because for the last couple of months or so I've been intrigued by steganography (see overview here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography). It's conceivable that this hole exists for other browsers/operating systems. Niels Provos is (was?) marketing a product to check jpegs for steganographic content. It seems that the spamfilters kind of need to incorporate this. Maybe they do already?
