June 2013 Internet Explorer Updates

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS13-047 - Critical

This security update resolves nineteen privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities could gain 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.

This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, and Internet Explorer 10 on Windows clients and Moderate for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, and Internet Explorer 10 on Windows servers. For more information, see the full bulletin.

Recommendation.  Most customers have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action because this security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who have not enabled automatic updating need to check for updates and install this update manually. For information about specific configuration options in automatic updating, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 294871.

For administrators and enterprise installations, or end users who want to install this security update manually, Microsoft recommends that customers apply the update immediately using update management software, or by checking for updates using the Microsoft Update service.

    Nice to see all the bugfixes. However, I hope the next blogpost is about Internet Explorer 11! :D

    hello, these usability bugs were closed with no repro but they are real and can easily be fixed if you haven't already done that: connect.microsoft.com/.../SearchResults.aspx

    If you file a bug you should enter more info so people can reproduce it. For instance you filed a bug about a personalized TPL causing problems on a site. You should at least have included info on which things you block with that TPL that leads to this behaviour. Also al relevant settings you personalized and also use of things like anti malware programs or firewalls which could also influence this kind of behaviour.

    @pmbAustin: When this happens, use Process Explorer to take a look at the "giant" process. What are the handle counts?

    Like EricLaw said, please get the handle counts from Process Explorer and post it here. You can download it from System Internals website technet.microsoft.com/.../bb896653.aspx

    Does this include a fix for the textarea bug that has plagued IE10 on (Windows 8/ Windows 7) since launch? It seems like this kind of usability regression bug should be fixed within weeks of a release for a truly agile modern developer.  However seeing that it has been almost 9 months (NINE MONTHS!!!!) how can we have ANY credibility in Microsoft? Seriously - when the !@#$% is this going to get fixed its incredibly frustrating!

    Please change tabs back to defaulting to user specified default web page.  You have rendered tabs too annoying to be useful with your suggestion boxes.

    @pmbAustin Please run the diagnostics utility for IE (Start  > type "iediag" without quotes and hit enter) More on blogs.msdn.com/.../ie-diagnostics.aspx Then upload your readings to SkyDrive or some place publicly accessible. I highly recommend you to compile the whole case and post it here, IE's technet social forums (social.technet.microsoft.com/.../home) and Microsoft Connect (http://connect.microsoft.com/) and then you may stand a little chance to get their attention! I have heard that they are overhauling the tab management  in IE11. Wait till next week. Build 2013 is on next week and they would provide first public preview for Windows Blue and then you can also verify if the bloating issues are resolved in v11. Next week would be exiting though! :)

    Can anybody tell me If IE11 will support WebM or not?

  • Anonymous

    @Webm: IE has been supporting WebM since IE9, as an optional codec. @steve: What textarea bug? The only bug I know, which also plagues all other input elements, is the one where the onchange event fires if there is a placeholder and you click in the input field (which can cause infinite loops). I think it was onchange, it's been a while since I checked.

    When closing the IE 10 browser windows doesn't always notice that I have closed the browser and doesn't clear cookies or anything from the browser.

    "Install the update, it's better" Is that to the point enough?
