Patch Tuesday Fixes IE Vulnerabilities

Microsoft's monthly security update was released yesterday, fixing over two dozen bugs within its applications. Included in this list were six vulnerabilities affecting the Internet Explorer browser. Each of the six could result in remote code execution on a victim's machine if exploited correctly. Viewing a specially crafted Web page is the trigger in each potential attack, most dealing with memory corruption as well as the handling of HTML components within the browser. IE users are encouraged to update their browser right away, either through Windows Update or the Internet Explorer download site.
