ZERT for short has released a
hot-fix for the latest
Internet Explorer Vulnerability. They also have a
test page that allows users to test their browsers and see if they are vulnerable. I tried it with the latest version of IE7 (my secondary browser) and I don't use Outlook at all so I did not bother with patch so I can't offer any details as to how easy it is to install or remove. It reported IE7 as not being affected on a XP SPK2 fully patched system. If they stick to their normal schedule Microsoft will probably address this issue October 10 when they do their monthly patch thing. The exploit is
alive in the wild thus the reason I assume ZERT is offering the patch.
