Rule Category

BROWSER-OTHER -- Snort has detected suspicious traffic known to exploit vulnerabilities present in an Internet browser other than Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome, or which is present in multiple browsers. This rule should be enabled for systems that use any mainstream browser, to offer complete coverage. (ie, If a vulnerability affects both Chrome and Firefox, but is covered by a rule under the Chrome category, Firefox users might have Chrome coverage turned off and miss the vulnerability.)

Rule Explanation

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into another window whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the "window injection" vulnerability. NOTE: later research shows that Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP SP2 is also vulnerable.
