Microsoft urged Windows users to download a fix for Internet Explorer, following the company's announcement that six new flaws had been found in its Web browser.
Microsoft has updated its recent Security bulletin by adding a patch to address all previously known cookie vulnerabilities affecting IE 5.5 Service Pack 2 and IE 6, as well as three new security holes. Make sure you are protected, especially over the holidays.
Although several of the new vulnerabilities in IE are classified as only moderate threats, an HTML buffer overrun flaw could allow attackers to gain user-level access to any computer that connects to a malicious Web site or that opens an HTML e-mail.
Microsoft Internet Explorer contains two newly discovered flaws. Here are the details on patching the holes and a look at how Microsoft seems to be dancing around the problem.

Two new Microsoft Internet Explorer threats haven't been patched and since one of them is addressed in Windows XP Service Pack 2, users may have to wait until the release of that Service Pack.

We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.
While XP SP2 is a huge step forward for Microsoft, there are important caveats. For example, don't expect the new Windows Firewall to prevent keystroke-logging Trojans from stealing your credit card info.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.
