Microsoft just released a cumulative patch, adding fixes to two more
security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer (IE), whereby an attacker
could craft a Web page or an HTML email that, when viewed by a victim,
would download and execute whatever program the attacker wants.
The attacker could do anything on the targeted system that the victim
user can do, such as add, delete, or modify files.
This vulnerability affects computers that have MS IE installed. (You do not
have to be using Internet Explorer as your Web browser to be affected by
this issue.)
Microsoft rates this issue as "Critical" and advises that all persons with
IE download, test and install the patch immediately.
