Media Player Exploits: New Vectors, New Threats

| They found that a fully patched Windows XP system running SP2 with IE6 or IE7 
| and Windows Media Player 9 will open any page in IE, even if the user's 
| default browser is Firefox, Opera or any other installed browser. This means 
| that even when running other browsers that are more secure, all a user has to 
| do is open a media file to expose the computer to all IE vulnerabilities.
