pdp on making image files execute script: IE's content sniffing runs HTML appended after a GIF89 header, and .jpg or .gif files whose bodies are HTML execute on view, so an avatar or a linked image on a forum can take the viewer's session. On Firefox an .htaccess line AddType text/html .jpg reproduces it. He argues the fix belongs server-side.
