Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows dominate their
respective markets, and it is not surprising that the decision to
update to the current release of Internet Explorer 7.0 and/or Windows
Vista is fraught with uncertainty. Primary in the minds of IT security
professionals is the question of vulnerabilities that may be present
in these two groundbreaking products.
To help assuage this uncertainty, iDefense Labs is pleased to announce
the Q1, 2007 quarterly challenge. iDefense will pay $8,000 for each
submitted vulnerability that allows an attacker to remotely exploit
and execute arbitrary code on either of these two products. Only the
first submission for a given vulnerability will qualify for the award,
and iDefense will award no more than six payments of $8,000. If more
than six submissions qualify, the earliest six submissions (based on
submission date and time) will receive the award. The iDefense Team at
VeriSign will be responsible for making the final determination of
whether or not a submission qualifies for the award.
