General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities in
Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code
execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer.

the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured
to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who
operate with administrative user rights.

Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9 on Windows clients
