Microsoft Issues Fix-It Workaround for IE Zero-Day

Microsoft has released a one-click fix-it workaround to help Internet Explorer users block malware attacks against an unpatched browser vulnerability. The Fix-It workaround effectively disables peer factory in the iepeers.dll binary in affected versions of Internet Explorer. The workaround comes on the heels of the public release of exploit code into the freely available Metasploit pen-testing framework. Microsoft also confirmed it is considering an out-of-band emergency patch to correct the underlying flaw.
