IE9-exploit holes in Windows 7 SP1 lays bare

Quote:
A brand new exploit for IE9 bypass all security measures in the latest Windows version. "A fully patched system is to crack."

The exploit uses an open (0-day) vulnerability in Internet Explorer 9 and thereby avoids the additional security features of Windows 7. The latest version of Microsoft's operating system, complete with Service Pack 1 (SP1) is vulnerable. It says the French security VUPEN that earlier also a big hole in IE8 has uncovered.
