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 commonly used program has a long running vulnerability. I would definitely say that's right up /.'s alley.

    Even Microsoft sent flowers to the mock funerals. And now they're digging out the grave to patch a corpse?
