The critical bug that affected IE 6 through 11 has now been patched even including IE 6 on Windows XP despite no longer supporting XP. The patch is out-of-band meaning it should be available sometime today and will not have to wait until Patch Tuesday.

 

I find Microsoft's quick turnaround time for patching this bug quite impressive and shows a lot of diligence considering the scale of the vulnerability.

Wow, no info on Win95, Win98se, Win2K nor WinNT are they vulnerable? Humm... they're unsupported like XP after all. <_<

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

probably the code was the same as ie11 to ie6, they just had to move a different finger in order to patch it in XP, and they did it anyways

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

i use to have the second best link in the world here, but it died ;_; its a 404 now but it will always be here
