Overview
Security issues identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow an attacker to compromise systems with Internet Explorer installed (even if Internet Explorer is not used as the Web browser). For example, an attacker could run programs on a computer used to view the attacker's Web site. Download this update from Microsoft to help protect your computer. After installation, you may have to restart your computer.

Download: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB824145)
Download: Cumulative Security Update for IE6 SP1 for Windows Server 2003
View: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-048




This is a cumulative update that includes the functionality of all the previously-released updates for Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 5.5, and Internet Explorer 6.0. Additionally, it eliminates the following five newly-discovered vulnerabilities:
  • Three vulnerabilities that involve the cross-domain security model of Internet Explorer
  • A vulnerability that involves the way that zone information is passed to an XML object within Internet Explorer
  • A vulnerability that involves performing a drag-and-drop operation during dynamic HTML (DHTML) events in Internet Explorer.


Note: As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative updates that were released with bulletins MS03-004, MS03-015, MS03-020, MS03-032, and MS03-040, this cumulative update causes the window.showHelp( ) control to no longer work if you have not applied the HTML Help update. If you have installed the updated HTML Help control from Knowledge Base article 811630, you will still be able to use HTML Help functionality after you apply this update.

The Messenger service had some intermittent problems last night, that's all.
