New IE Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Discovered

Posted by Unknown on from the luckily-has-zero-users dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft is investigating a new remote code execution vulnerability in Internet Explorer and preparing a security update for all supported versions of its browser (IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, and IE11). The company has issued a security advisory in the meantime because it has confirmed reports that the issue is being exploited in a 'limited number of targeted attacks' specifically directed at IE8 and IE9."

    "A limited Number of Targeted Attacks"

    Must be that all 25 of their IE users got hit so now they are trying to patch it.
