Palo Alto Networks Identifies 3 Critical Internet Explorer Vulnerabilities
Summary: Palo Alto Networks researcher Bo Qu discovered three critical Internet Explorer vulnerabilities affecting IE versions 8, 9, 10 and 11: two memory corruption flaws and one ASLR bypass. All three appear in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-065, part of the November 2014 security update, and were disclosed to Microsoft through the Microsoft Active Protections Program.
Key Takeaway: Palo Alto Networks counted 22 IE vulnerabilities in June 2014, 10 in July, three in August, 15 in September and one in October - a volume that shows how much of an enterprise attack surface the browser represented, and why the firm frames patching these flaws as removing a weapon used by Advanced Persistent Threats.
