IE June Security Update Now Available

[NewsBot]

The IE Cumulative Security Update for June 2008 is now available via Windows Update. Alternatively, you can receive this and all other Microsoft updates via the new Microsoft Update. I encourage you to upgrade to Microsoft Update if you haven’t already to ensure that you receive the latest updates for all Microsoft products.

This update addresses 1 remote code execution vulnerability and 1 information disclosure vulnerability. This security update addresses these vulnerabilities by modifying the way Internet Explorer handles HTML and validates data. For detailed information on the contents of this update, please see the following documentation:

• Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-031
  
• Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 950759
  

The security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1; Internet Explorer 6 on supported versions of Windows XP; and Internet Explorer 7 on supported versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. The security update is rated Important for Internet Explorer 5.01 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service pack 4, and Moderate for all other supported releases of Internet Explorer. 6

If you are currently using Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for Developers, please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 951804 for update details.

As a reminder, IE security updates are cumulative and contain all previously released updates for each version of Internet Explorer.

I encourage everybody to download this security update and other non-IE security updates via Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Windows users are also strongly encouraged to configure their systems for automatic updates to keep their systems current with the latest updates from Microsoft.
