Microsoft might soon rush out an update for Internet Explorer
Microsoft’s problems with the aging Internet Explorer browser seem to be never ending. Microsoft’s web browser application is facing more security glitches after a computer code, which demonstrates how a hacker can use the flaw to take over a PC, was released onto the Net on Thursday.
This means that the company would have to release a patch much before the next scheduled release date for their monthly patches. Monty IJzerman, the manager of security content at McAfee claimed that one of the implementations has now been adapted to attack systems.
He said in a statement: “This exploit code is being used in the wild in malware. I expect other attacks to be prepared and to be out there over the next few days.” The software giant has already said that they are going to address the vulnerability in a security update. However, the expected release data has not been announced yet.
This is the third flaw of its kind to affect Microsoft applications this week and this one is related to how the web browser handles the “createTextRange()” tag in Web pages.
