More critical flaws in Internet Explorer

Microsoft released a patch for a number of flaws in its Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser yesterday, including two it rated critical for some versions of the browser, which could enable an attacker to take control of a user's computer. Isn't that nice of them?

On top of that, they also released a patch for a flaw, rated important, in the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) element of its Windows OS (operating systems). Lots of patching goodness in the middle of the hell all Windows admins are going through.

There is a good summary about these threats in this article at InfoWorld.

Happy updating!
