Palo Alto Networks Researcher Discovers Two Critical Internet Explorer Vulnerabilities
Summary: Palo Alto Networks researcher Bo Qu discovered two critical Internet Explorer vulnerabilities affecting IE versions 6 through 11, both documented in Microsoft Security Bulletins MS15-065 and MS15-066 as part of the July 2015 Security Bulletin. The vulnerabilities were disclosed to Microsoft through Palo Alto Networks' participation in the Microsoft Active Protections Program, which coordinates responsible disclosure and creation of protections by security vendors.
What you should know: These flaws reached every IE version from 6 to 11, so a single unpatched browser could expose an entire enterprise or government network to an attacker's weapon until Microsoft's July 2015 patch landed.
