New evidence points to a previously unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer as the hole through which criminals recently attacked Google and other companies, rather than a known, but unpatched vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader, as had previously been claimed.
Microsoft has issued an advisory for the new vulnerability in IE listing every currently supported version except IE5 on Windows 2000 as vulnerable. As described by Microsoft: "It is possible under certain conditions for [an] invalid pointer to be accessed after an object is deleted. In a specially-crafted attack, in attempting to access a freed object, Internet Explorer can be caused...
