An Israeli security researcher recently published his new discovery, the exploit code for a security hole in Internet Explorer web browser, via his Twitter page. The researcher discovered the exploit after receiving clues from a McAfee blog post.
This new exploit affects IE 6 and IE 7 web browsers. The exploit has been targeted already in attacks and potentially could enable an attacker in taking control of a users system.
Microsoft’s next scheduled patch is in four weeks.
