An unpatched hole in Java was being exploited to target visitors to a song lyrics Web site and more attacks are likely, researchers warned on Wednesday.
The flaw in Java Web Start, disclosed last week by several security researchers, affects Windows systems running Firefox and Internet Explorer, said Roger Thompson, AVG chief research officer. He said he couldn't get it to work on Chrome though, despite reports that it does.
Thompson found exploit code for both the Java hole and one in Adobe Reader on servers in Russia that was triggered by computers visiting English-language site Songlyrics.com. The site was later cleaned up, he said.
