Microsoft releases security updates on the second Tuesday of each month. It seems that there’s a security hole in Internet Explorer that they haven’t yet patched, and it’s so serious that users are advised to immediately apply a workaround fix.
This vulnerability will allow attackers infect the victim’s computers (running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) after they’ve clicked on a video link in Internet Explorer.
The vulnerability allows attacker to run arbitrary code under the same user rights of the local user. Microsoft says that they’re already aware of malicious hackers exploiting this vulnerability.
If you’re running IE under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you can get the emergency patch here .
