Microsoft's Patch Tuesday Party Gets Troublesome Surprise

,----[ Quote ]
| The expected batch of patches wasn't the 
| only thing Windows users got with 
| Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday update. 
| The set of fixes was accompanied by a 
| warning about an unpatched zero-day exploit 
| for Internet Explorer. IE 8, however, is 
| not vulnerable to attack -- perhaps one 
| more reason not to fall behind in major 
| browser updates.
