IE Has No Patch, but Does Have One Big Hole

I just mentioned that IE is getting no patches this month. That doesn't mean all is well in IE world. There is a Zero-Day remote code execution exploit that impacts XP, Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft revealed this week.

There is a workaround, and Microsoft is feverishly coding up a patch. One Web site (that is now shut down) was found to be the source of the malware.
