nellie2 Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Microsoft has released a workaround to a serious flaw in its Internet Explorer browser, but has not said when it will fully solve the problem.First discovered nine months ago, the flaw is in the ActiveX scripting component of the browser. The vulnerability was recently used by malicious code called Download.Ject to download a Trojan onto PCs visiting certain web pages.It is so serious that last week the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team advised companies to consider using other browsers for security reasons.The workaround, issued on Friday evening, does not patch the flaw but "improves system resiliency to protect against the Download.Ject attack", according to Microsoft.scource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
