December 21st, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

A dangerous vulnerability in Internet Explorer became known to publicity before a fix was available, raising the probability of zero-days attacks. The new bug involves the way IE handles Cascading Style Sheets objects(CSS is currently the most popular web-design technique), and could allow an attacker to execute any type of code on a targeted Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003, or Server 2008 computer. Internet Explorer 8 was not affected by this bug, and currently you can аix the vulnerability with a patch.
