Just released at Microsoft TechNet, browser patch fixes for IE 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0. Thanks to LockerGnome for pointing this out, they say in the Tech Specialist newsletter that “A cumulative patch for Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 has been issued, including all of the previously released security fixes, along with six freshly announced vulnerabilities. The new flaws can result in all sorts of nasty things happening if you hit a page that has been maliciously coded.” So go patch it up!

thanks! (i noticed the d/l for 6.0 was one of the biggest — does that mean it’s the most full of holes? 🙂
hey, i found an interesting toy for ya… the wayback machine. it doesn’t have squat on me tho…
got it, thanks girl!
Sadly the Gnome himself has pointed out a vital flaw with the patch.
Indeed, apparently the IE 5 versions do not fix anything.
Thanks for the link Christine! Was hoping they’d come out with a patch soon.
