A warning issued by Israeli security firm GreyMagic
Software last month revealed a total of nine vulnerabilities
in IE 5.5 and 6.0, all concerning object caching. At the
time of writing, Microsoft has not responded with new
patches. Meanwhile, security consultancy PivX Solutions
lists a running total of 32 unpatched vulnerabilities
(http://www.pivx.com/larholm/unpatched/). As ever,
though, the problem doesn't stop once patches are provided.
A recent poll on the Virus Bulletin website asked visitors
whether they update their systems frequently with the latest
security patches. One would like to assume that visitors to
VB's website are at least a little interested in securing their
PCs. While 69% said yes, 31% of participants said they do
not regularly apply security patches to their systems.
