...Secunia has confirmed that the vulnerability affects IE 6.0 on Windows XP with all current security patches. It also affects the latest IE 7 Beta release, Secunia said. Other versions may also be affected, it said. ...

...This is the fourth unpatched vulnerability for IE that has become public in the last few weeks. Microsoft plans to release a security update for the Web browser on Tuesday. At least one of the disclosed bugs will be fixed in that update, the company has said. That flaw, related to how IE handles the "createTextRange()" tag in Web pages, has been exploited in attacks to install spyware, remote-control software and Trojan horses on vulnerable PCs.


* and the parade marches on! Long live Firefox!
