> DESCRIPTION:
> A weakness has been discovered in Internet Explorer 7, which can be
> exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
> 
> The problem is caused due to an unintended result of the IDN
> (International Domain Name) implementation in the HTTP Basic
> Authentication dialog. This can be exploited to spoof a server in the
> authentication dialog using international characters in domain names
> when a user visits a malicious web page.
> 
> The weakness is confirmed in Internet Explorer 7 on a fully patched
> Windows XP. Other versions may also be affected.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> Do not provide user credential to suspicious authentication dialogs.
