Microsoft agrees to release a patch to fix some of the security issues but not all in Internet Explorers URI Handler. I don’t understand why Microsoft has such a lazy stance on security, I want to use Internet Explorer just as securely as any other browser. One mis-typed url after a fresh install of Windows could cause malicious software to gain entry to me desktop.
Microsoft changes mind, agrees to fix IE's URI handler –Microsoft has stated that they will be releasing a patch to fix some, but not all, potential security flaws resulting from third-party applications being fed maliciously malformed URI requests.
