[Am-info] Security firm: IE patch does not work

[Fred A. Miller]

"A patch released by Microsoft to fix a critical security vulnerability 
in its Internet Explorer browser does not work, according to security 
experts. 

The "object type" vulnerability was discovered by eEye Digital Security 
around four months ago. A patch was released on Aug. 20. It was then 
re-released on Aug. 28, because under some circumstances it had caused 
problems for some non-default operating system installations, according 
to eEye. The patch appears to be due for yet another rerelease because 
it simply doesn't fix the vulnerability it is supposed to, eEye said."
