New software has been published on the Internet that could be used to exploit a known flaw in Internet Explorer. The code, which was posted Monday to the Milw0rm.com Web site, exploits a recently patched flaw in Microsoft Corp.'s browser. It could be used to run unauthorized software on a computer that was not updated with the latest Microsoft patches, security experts warn.
The vulnerability was first discovered by security researcher HD Moore who posted code last July that could be used to crash the browser. Microsoft patched the flaw in February, but some security researchers say that it will get more attention from criminals because of this latest exploit code.
