While you are quite correct that open url could be used to leak information, and it is a good instinct to consider how a malware author could abuse it, I think your concern is misplaced. If I'm a malware author and you're running my code, every application on the system could disable open url, and I could leak any information I can access without little snitch ever noticing. (I'm not criticizing little snitch specifically here, but rather all process/host/port based "firewalls", on all platforms... They are absolutely a false sense of security in their common operating configurations if you can't control which software you are running.) _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
