Patch Tuesday Fixes IE Vulnerabilities

Wednesday February 11, 2009

Microsoft's monthly security update was released yesterday, fixing several bugs within its applications. Included in this list were two privately reported vulnerabilities affecting the Internet Explorer browser. Both 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. IE users are encouraged to update their browser right away, either through Windows Update or the Internet Explorer download site.
