Hmm another Microsoft Security Advisory. This time, strangely it affects Internet Explorer 6 to 9. That is nearly all versions. The vulnerability seems to be quite unique. It could allow the hacker to perform remote code execution on websites.
The mitigation is more than the usual turn off the ActiveX until the patch is out. It require users involve installing a “Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolket” or EMET.
This complexity led to some tech websites encouraging users to change browsers. link This is easier said than done. Corporate users need Internet Explorer to access Sharepoint, SSRS, CRM etc. Telling them to use another browser for Internet related work is an exercise in futility.
On another note, KB articles are now 8 digits!
