Microsoft issues critical update for Internet Explorer
Microsoft has as expected issued a critical update for their Internet Explorer web browser.
The flaw was discovered recently and it is already been spread in the wild affecting thousands of users.
The company is recommending that all users should update to this update.
It is available directly through the Windows Update utility.
Microsoft spoke about this bug in a security advisory:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists as an invalid pointer reference in the data binding function of Internet Explorer. When data binding is enabled (which is the default state), it is possible under certain conditions for an object to be released without updating the array length, leaving the potential to access the deleted object’s memory space. This can cause Internet Explorer to exit unexpectedly, in a state that is exploitable.
