Vulnerability in Internet Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution


Published: April 26, 2014

Version: 1.0

Executive Summary

Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks that attempt to exploit a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.

The vulnerability is a remote code execution vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer. An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website.

or just use a browser that isn't a piece of shit.



Sure.. all those other things are 100% safe... :ph34r::ph34r:

But since MOST people ( 90.75%) have some form of IE built in which is pretty much just part of the OS.. it tends to be smart to patch it when they find something.

So, there's no update for this for XP users, right?

And, no, I don't normally use IE for my browser, I use Firefox. But there is one website I have to use on that XP computer I have at work that doesn't work in Firefox.

What I am reading in your link, is that there are no update patches yet;
Only workarounds.

This says the same thing: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/27/oops_we_did_it_again_microsoft_warns_of_ie_zero_day/
