New crash discovered in Internet Explorer, all versions affected

2145

Internet ExplorerWhen Microsoft released the Internet Explorer 11, implied that he finally lost some time to improve his browser to erase the bad image that all users have of it.

Only that effort may be at stake after the digital security company, FireEye, you have detected a fault that affects the Internet Explorer from the 6 version to the 11 version.

Users accessing an infected site may be at risk of granting remote access to attackers.

According to Microsoft's statement:

The vulnerability exists because of the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current Internet Explorer user.

For now, versions that are with more risks of being attacks are IE 9,10 and 11. Users who should be very concerned are the users Windows XP, since they will not have official support from Microsoft.

Microsoft has not yet announced when it will release the update to fix this failure. But during that time, the advice is to use another browser. It will not be difficult.
