Serious IE Flaw Found
Currently unpatched bug affects systems with Microsoft Office and Visual Studio
The researches from FrSIRT (French Security Incident Response Team) reported in an alert on Wednesday that a bug in a file (DLL - Dynamic Link Library) shipped with Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Studio allows malicious code in a Web page to exploit a memory corruption error.
Only the Internet Explorer users that contain the bugged file are affected, and only if they access a Web page with malicious code that tries to exploit this bug.
Microsoft published a security advisory discussing this problem. The advisory, which includes a number of suggested workarounds, can be found here.
