Critical Security Update Regarding Internet Explorer!
Microsoft sent out a critical security update to all of its partners (Bryley included) regarding eight vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer - seven privately reported and one publically disclosed. According to the Microsoft TechNet Security Bulletin, "The more severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer." It is possible that users of Internet Explorer whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights
Microsoft is rating this security update as Critical for all supported releases of Internet Explorer: "Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 (except Internet Explorer 6 for supported editions of Windows Server 2003)." Microsoft has rated the update as Moderate for Internet Explorer 6 for supported editions of Windows Server 2003 as listed.
Fortunately, the majority of users have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action as a security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. Users who have not enabled automatic updating need to check for updates and install this one manually.
