Microsoft is again being forced to respond to serious Internet Explorer security holes coupled with exploit code that could allow attackers to saddle Windows users with spyware, Trojans or other trouble, even if they have updated with Microsoft's Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Security research firm Secunia reported and posted an example of the latest exploit, which continues a string of critical vulnerabilities in Explorer. Denmark-based Secunia said the security issue -- a weakness in Explorer's command execution -- could permit arbitrary commands to install code on a computer from a malicious Web site without requiring any user interaction. The exploit involves an HTML Help problem that can be used with insufficient drag and drop validation to bypass SP2 security features and compromise user systems, Secunia said.
Security experts pointed to a series of critical Explorer holes and exploits over the last few months as a troubling indicator of the dangers of Web browsers, particularly Explorer. Some were also critical of Microsoft's lack of effort in improving and bolstering Explorer, which is fast losing ground to other browsers, especially the Mozilla open-source community's Firefox.
