Today, we released Security Advisory 2847140 regarding an issue that impacts Internet Explorer 8. Internet Explorer 6, 7, 9 and 10 are not affected by the vulnerability. This issue allows remote code execution if users browse to a malicious website with an affected browser. This would typically occur by an attacker convincing someone to click a link in an email or instant message.
If anyone still uses it... /quote

I'm sooo glad that I still use IE 5... Just jokin'

I'd still say it's best to use an old rig for interweb only, don't keep personal data on it...

There's no safe internetz at all.
