Microsoft Fixes Critical IE Problems

December 14th 2005 | Microsoft

Microsoft this week fixed a widely reported flaw in its Internet Explorer (IE) browser that had been used by attackers over the past few weeks to take over the PCs of unsuspecting users. The flaw was one of four IE bugs fixed Tuesday in Microsoft’s regularly scheduled software update.

Microsoft fixed this problem, along with the other three IE bugs, in one of two security updates, released Tuesday. More details on the IE fixes can be found in the MS05-054 Security Bulletin here. This update is rated “critical” by Microsoft. A second update, assigned Microsoft’s less severe security rating of “important,” fixes a problem in the Windows 2000 kernel. That update can be found here.
