A vulnerability affecting IE versions 6 through 11 was reported over the weekend that allows an attacker to remotely execute code in the context of the user if the victim can be tricked into visiting a malicious website. The vulnerability was discovered being used in an attack campaign dubbed “Operation Clandestine Fox” by researchers at FireEye. The UK and US CERT teams in the UK and the US have advised users to consider ditching the browser until Microsoft issues a patch. Even once patched, users of Windows XP will be at risk because on current plans no patch would be issued for that version.”]
