Microsoft Patch Tuesday has come and gone. I'm running IE7 so I guess I don't need to worry. Application Development Trends mentions a tiny possibility of VS2005 being attacked, but you have to be an idiot to get caught. Here's what they say about the IE patches:

IE Patches
Microsoft today also issued a cumulative patch that addresses at least four serious vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer versions 5.01 and 6. The vulnerabilities -- which are susceptible to memory corruption and information disclosure exploits -- affect IE's script handling, DHTML scripting and Temporary Internet File features. At least two of them, a Script Error Handling Memory Corruption Error and a DHTML Script Function Memory Corruption Error, could allow attackers to execute code on -- and gain control over -- vulnerable systems.

All Windows versions running Internet Explorer 5.01 or 6.0 are affected by the vulnerability. Internet Explorer 7.0 is not affected, Microsoft said.

Nice to see that a newer version of IE finally delivers better security, from this article I gather that IE6 was not much of an improvement over IE5.01 which I think was released in 1998!?
