Google Chrome vulnerable to carpet-bombing flaw
Quote:
Google’s shiny new Web browser is vulnerable to a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could expose Windows users to malicious hacker attacks.
Just hours after the release of Google Chrome, researcher Aviv Raff discovered that he could combine two vulnerabilities — a flaw in Apple Safari (WebKit) and a Java bug discussed at this year’s Black Hat conference — to trick users into launching executables direct from the new browser.
Raff has cooked up a harmless demo of the attack in action, showing how a Google Chrome users can be lured into downloading and launching a JAR (Java Archive) file that gets executed without warning.

which software doesn't have a bug flaw?
Software is kept in beta state so that flaws are exposed. Or you mean that beta versions are flawless/bugless then develop bugs/flaws as they turn older?
