• Yet another Internet Explorer 0day

    Posted on January 29, 2011 at 13:21 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft has released Security Advisory 2501696, describing yet another 0day flaw in Internet Explorer.

    This time the problem lies in the way IE handles MHTML code. Apparently there’s a way for a sufficiently ornery Web page to run amok on your PC, if you’re browsing with Internet Explorer. No action on your part necessary; it’s a drive-by security hole.

    You have two choices.

    You can either run Microsoft’s Fixit, which sits in Knowledge Base article 2510696.

    Or you can do what I’ve been begging you to do for almost a decade now. Use Firefox. Or Chrome. Or Safari. Or anything except Internet Explorer.
