The flaw allows an attacker to hijack control of your computer via Internet Explorer – just by visiting a boobytrapped webpage.

Microsoft has urged Windows users to update their machines after discovering a bug in Internet Explorer that could allow hackers to take control of their machines.

It would allow an attacker to hijack control of your computer via Internet Explorer – just by visiting a boobytrapped webpage.

All versions of Windows, including Windows 10 are vulnerable to the bug, the firm said - although its new Edge browser is not.

In its advisory, Microsoft warns that vulnerable computers can be exploited just by visiting maliciously-crafted webpages using Internet Explorer, with no further user interaction is required.

This security update resolves a vulnerability in Internet Explorer, it says.

The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer.

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user.

This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 7 IE 7, Internet Explorer 8 IE 8, Internet Explorer 9 IE 9, Internet Explorer 10 IE 10, and Internet Explorer 11 IE 11 on affected Windows clients, and Moderate for Internet Explorer 7 IE 7, Internet Explorer 8 IE 8, Internet Explorer 9 IE 9, Internet Explorer 10 IE 10, and Internet Explorer 11 IE 11 on affected Windows servers.  

The update addresses how Internet Explorer handles objects in memory, preventing any further interference.

Experts say the bug is a major flaw.

If Microsoft calls a vulnerability critical, warns that it affects all versions of Windows, and is prepared to issue a patch outside of its normal Patch Tuesday monthly schedule, you should sit up and listen, said security expert Graham Cluley.
