Microsoft stopft drei Internet-Explorer-Lecks
Außer der Reihe stellt Microsoft ein Sicherheitsupdate für den Internet Explorer bereit. Es beseitigt insgesamt drei Sicherheitslücken des Microsoft Browsers, die alle als kritisch eingestuft sind.
Der erste Bugfix beseitigt das Cross-Domain-Scripting-Problem mit ms-its-URIs, über das Download.Ject die Rechte der lokalen Zone erlangen konnte. Die zweite Korrektur behebt einen Fehler in der Art und Weise, wie der Internet Explorer BMP-Dateien interpretiert -- sie kann zu einem Buffer Overflow führen. Das dritte Bugfix korrigiert einen Fehler in der Speicherverwaltung beim Analysieren spezieller GIF-Bilder, durch den Speicherbereiche mehrfach freigegeben werden können.

In addition, a PIN number and fingerprint detector keep the data stored in the phone's memory secure.

Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her to finish it before entering the station. Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.
