ms13-080

MS13-080 is a critical security update for Internet Explorer that addresses one publicly disclosed and nine privately reported vulnerabilities. The most severe of these could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage. An attacker who successfully exploits the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user, with users having fewer rights being less impacted. This update, part of Microsoft's October 2013 Patch Tuesday, was revised to include the 2884101 update available via Windows Update. The bulletin covers multiple Internet Explorer versions and emphasizes the importance of applying the update to mitigate risks of remote code execution attacks.
