Today we released Security Advisory 2488013 to address a public vulnerability that could affect customers using Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 if they visit a website hosting malicious code. Currently the impact of this vulnerability is limited and we are not aware of any affected customers or active attacks targeting customers.
Internet Explorer Protected Mode on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows helps to limit the impact of the currently known proof-of-concept exploits. Protected Mode is on by default in the Internet and Restricted sites zones in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 and prompts users before allowing software to install, run or modify sensitive system components.
