Unpatched Security Vulnerability in IE8

[Feuer Frei!]

After being reported back in October 2013, Microsoft remains idle and no patch has been activated.
Nice support Microsoft.
Users beware!

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file

[STEED]

Windows XP stops at IE8 so I suspect its another way of making you go out and buy Windows 8 so you can have IE11.
