A new vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow remote code execution. There have been reports that several sites are infected with the malicious code to exploit IE users computers. Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency software patch to resolve it. Microsoft said that the attack has been detected against IE 7 but versions 6 and 8 also could be vulnerable. Sophos has released further information about this threat.
