Palo Alto Networks Researchers Discover Critical IE Vulnerabilities
Summary: Palo Alto Networks researchers Tongbo Luo and Hui Gao were credited with discovering critical Microsoft vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 on affected Windows clients, documented in Microsoft Security Bulletins MS15-106 and MS15-112. The vulnerabilities were disclosed to Microsoft through the Microsoft Active Protections Program, and Palo Alto Networks says it has discovered more than 90 critical vulnerabilities over the past two years.
Why it matters: Internet Explorer 7 through 11 shipped on a vast base of Windows clients, and each of these flaws was a working weapon for attackers targeting enterprise, government and service provider networks until Microsoft patched it.
