The Microsoft Internet Explorer security bug that was disclosed last week yet again takes our attention – this time developers of the open-source Metasploit penetration testing toolkit have released code that can compromise IE browser, however the code cannot be called reliable. As the developers said tehmselves – the bug is unreliable, you can’t be sure that you will be able to compromise one’s browser. As stated by Microsoft – there hasn’t yet been any attacks using this exploit in the wild. As stated by the software giant, only IE versions 6 and 7 may be effected and Microsoft has already released a Security Advisory that offers workarounds to guard against the flaw.
