Critical Internet Explorer 11 Vulnerability Identified After Hacking Team Breach
An anonymous reader writes: After analyzing the leaked data from last week's attack on Hacking Team, Vectra researchers discovered a previously unknown high severity vulnerability in Internet Explorer 11, which impacts the browser on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. The vulnerability is an exploitable use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability that occurs within a custom heap in JSCRIPT9.

Microsoft has published a patch for this vulnerability, and also patched another one pulled from the Hacking Team files by different security researchers.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
