0-day leaves kernel in the wrong iframe of mind

An unpatched critical flaw in 64-bit Windows 7 leaves computers
vulnerable to a full 'blue screen of death' system crash.

...

The offending script is just an IFRAME tag with an overly large height
attribute. Although Safari is required to spark the system crash via
HTML, modern operating systems should not allow usermode applications to
bring down the machine. Microsoft is now investigating the
vulnerability, which was first reported by Twitter user w3bd3vil,
although the software giant is racing against hackers tracing the code
execution path to discover the underlying vulnerability in Windows 7.

So much for "professional" software.
