Internet Explorer 6 and 7 vulnerable




If a few days ago Microsoft published a security advisory to warn users about a security flaw in Windows 7, now doing the same but to confirm a critical vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

The vulnerability in question was caused by a problem in Microsoft HTML Viewer (mshtml.dll) to process certain CSS objects, and this can be exploited by an attacker to execute code and take
control of your computer. For now it is not reported that this vulnerability is being actively
exploited.

As published a solution for this problem in the browser configuration is recommended to
increase the security level for the Internet zone. In addition, the mode of security
protection that incorporates Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista can help reduce the impact
of an attack.
Every month Microsoft releases a series of updates, and things are going, it seems that
December will come loaded with some patches, and inform them.
