IE November 2006 Security Update Now Available
15th Nov 2006, 02:02 GMT
The IE cumulative November 2006 security update is now available via Windows Update. Alternatively, you can receive this and all other Microsoft updates via the new Microsoft Update and I encourage you to upgrade to Microsoft Update if you haven’t already. This update addresses 2 security issues: 2 remote code execution vulnerabilities. For more information on the contents of this update, please see: Microsoft Knowledge Base article: MS06-067 – Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (KB# 922760) Details on the vulnerabilities and workarounds can be found here. This is a “Critical” update that applies to all supported IE configurations from IE5.01 to IE6 for XPSP2 and IE6 for Server 2003 Service Pack 1 except IE7 where the associated vulnerabilities do not affect this newer platform. As always, IE security updates are cumulative and contain all previously released updates for each version of IE. Unrelated to today’s IE update, Microsoft XML Core Services released an MSXML update today that may affect some IE users. Rob blogged about this earlier today. I encourage everybody to download this security update and other non-IE security updates via Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Windows users are also strongly encouraged to configure their systems for automatic updates to keep their systems current with the latest security updates from Microsoft.
