    oh this was IE?

    Oh...

    I mean... this patch just goes to show the lax security and horrendous coding of IE!

    (In all seriousness, it's actually quite nice to see the hole fixed and tested in such a quick time. I think MS actually deserves kudos for the quick turnaround and out-of-band release)
