ZERT Launches Emergency IE Patch
A high-profile group of computer security professionals scattered around the globe has created a third-party patch for the critical VML vulnerability as part of a broader effort to provide an emergency response system for zero-day malware attacks.
The group, known as ZERT (Zero Day Emergency Response Team), is now emerging from stealth mode with an unofficial patch that offers temporary respite from a spate of drive-by malware downloads aimed at users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.
The patch, which was created and tested by a roster of reverse engineering gurus and virus research experts, is available from the ZERT Web site for Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP (SP1 and SP2), Windows Server 2003 (SP1 and R2 inclusive).
Those of you that are sceptical about installing a non-Microsoft patch may like use a workaround to avoid this exploit. Instuctions on how this is done may also be found in the article.
