Users have discovered a security vulnerability in the preview version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) just days after its release.

Microsoft has responded in a posting on its official IE development blog to confirm the the bug does crash IE 7. However it was found that the bug was not exploitable by default.
Other issues with the latest build of the browser have been unearthed during early testing. Compatibility problems with McAfee security software and glitches that cause the browser to crash when visiting certain websites have emerged. Since IE 7 is undergoing beta testing, these kind of bugs are to be expected.
