Internet Explorer needs another critical patch. If left unpatched, the browser is subject to attacks that execute malicious code on victim machines, so getting the updates to patch it is important.
In addition to the threat posed by the vulnerabilities that the patches correct, these critical browser updates will be challenging for IT organizations. Installing the updates requires system restarts and the browser in all its versions is widely distributed among organizations.
Vulnerable versions include IE 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 running on desktop Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as well as Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012.
The bulletin about the Internet Explorer problems is likely to include a roll-up of fixes for any number of vulnerabilities found over the past month
