Microsoft Warns of Vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and
"LookOut" Express
(23 April 2003)
Microsoft has issued security updates warning of vulnerabilities in
Internet Explorer (IE) and Outlook Express.  Four flaws in IE 5.01,
5.5 and 6.0 include a buffer overflow vulnerability and a problem with
how IE handles third-party files.  The flaw in Outlook Express could
allow attackers to run programs on victims' computers due to the way in
which OE handles HTML encapsulation in e-mail.  Patches are available.
