Microsoft Security Advisory 2794220
« on: December 29, 2012, 11:47:19 PM »
Microsoft released Security Advisory 2794220 to address an issue that affects Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8.  Internet Explorer versions 9 and 10 are not affected.

At this time, Microsoft is aware of a very small number of targeted attacks.  This issue allows remote code execution if users browse to a malicious website with an affected browser.  Generally, this is a result of an attacker convincing someone to click a link in an email or instant message.

Out-of-band Critical Security Update MS13-008 Released
« Reply #3 on: January 14, 2013, 05:22:21 PM »
Out-of-band Critical Security Update MS13-008 has been released for IE6, IE7 and IE8.

Contrary to the information provided in the MSRC Blog post announcement yesterday, although it is not necessary to remove the Fix it solution prior to installing the update, it is now recommended that it be removed after installing the update.

A direct link to the Fix it to disable the update is available in my blog post at MS13-008 Released for Security Advisory 2794220.
