Security Advisory 2755801 Updated to Address Adobe Flash Player Issues

  • 發行項

Today we released an update that addresses vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8. The majority of customers have automatic updates enabled and will not need to take any action because the update will be downloaded and installed automatically. For those manually updating, we encourage you to read the advisory and apply this update as quickly as possible.

This update addresses the vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player by updating the affected Adobe Flash binaries contained within Internet Explorer 10. For more information, see the advisory.

    Will IE10 Windows 7 RTM improve on the memory leak problems that the pre-release has? It seems that IE does not unload parts of the site that has been closed, and once the browser reaches 1gb size in RAM, it implodes on itself: first, pages will start missing stuff in them, and then the entire thing crashes. There have been reports of this happening in IE10 Win8 too, though... Pretty major issue, and I don't see it mentioned much...

    Please, just release IE10 for Windows 7.  Break the annoying silence, Microsoft, and treat your loyal customers right. There was no response to my previous post about the reported memory leak problems with IE10.  It seems that nobody from Microsoft will respond to a genuine concern, i.e. I don't want to install a browser that might cause stability issues.

    stuart: your two points are contradictory

    My two points are not contradictory.  I am stating that Microsoft need to release IE10 for Windows 7.  Also, there was no response to my post on the other topic regarding the IE10 memory leakage issues reported by others - memory leakage can cause instability.  There is no contradition here - these are two independent statements.

    I'm using IE10  on Windows 7 since its launch. Never feel that memory leakage.

    @Arieta, it totally happens on IE10-Windows8-Desktop. Keep enough tabs open for long enough, and suddenly things will stop rendering, even to the point of things in common open dialogs not rendering (like black squares instead of file thumbnails).  It'll hobble along like that for a while until it just crashes, or until you shut down and restart IE. It happens constantly to me... many times a week.  Just leave half a dozen or a dozen tabs open, through sleep/wake cycles, and you'll see it eventually.

    I've seen the memory issues too (and on desktop Windows RT there is a battery drain too when you have many tabs open) The latter is a big pain because the Meh'tro browser is so frustrating to use and fails so badly on so many sites. However the more important and more frustrating issue is of course the broken comment form on this blog. Luckily we now have a theme to add to all of our Posts. Until the blog is fixed! #MicrosoftReputation--;

    EPM is not enabled by default on desktop or Windows 7, it also makes many addons incompatable.  It is unlikely that a significant amount of Windows 7 and Windows 8 desktop users will start using it any time soon unless Microsoft decides to enable it by default in a future update.

    Here I have IE10 on W7 continuously open for several weeks now and not experiencing any issues with memoryleak. Only addon in use is SimpleAdblock and with Tracking Protection Lists enabled (Easylist)

    I am using IE10 on 7 and 8 on at least 4 machines on office and work. I have updated almost 20 laptops of my friends and family members. I have never heard such complaint. One thing in all those machines have in common is antivirus program, that is; Microsoft Security Essentials. If someone was installed Norton, I replaced it with MSE AV. Other than that I haven't heard of such complains in 32/64 flavors of Win7 (professional, home-basic and ultimate). So in your case, it could be some other program/service (which usually people don't have installed) is clashing with IE10's binaries.

    Hi hAl and James, It’s good to hear that others are also finding that there are no memory leaks. James, for your reference I have Norton Internet Security 2013 (v20.2.1.22) installed and it is not causing any issues for me. All of its browser add-ons are 32 bit which don’t function in the 64 bit IE. In addition they don’t function since I have ActiveX filtering and EPM enabled. Having EPM enabled also means that the 32 bit version of IE is no longer accessible. Thanks.

    @EricLaw: It is actually very easy to reproduce the problem.

  1. use the 32bit version, so the limit is reached faster
  2. set tabprocgrowth to 1, so IE only uses two instances - one "parent" and one actually running the applications. Again, this is so the limit is reached faster (and also to force compatibility with some older add-ons that give IE absolutely crucial functionality).
  3. watch 1080p videos in Youtube for an hour or so. But once it also happened to me while just browsing an ebay store and saving images... iexplorer.exe reached the ~1gb cap in a matter of MINUTES. I was browsing the store of hit-japan through RSS, saving certain images, and the cap was reached very fast. Add-ons do not cause this problem, though they might contribute to it. However even with all add-ons disabled, after an hour of watching 1080p youtube videos, IE reached the ~1gb memory cap and imploded on itself in the usual fashion. Of course using 64bit would alleviate the issue as the memory cap would be way, way higher. But 64bit IE is not an option to many because of incompatible add-ons.

    I don't know what a 'leak' is, but do know that IE10 crashes several times a day on my Windows 8.  It always claims that the website caused the crash, but after the first 10 websites were blamed I just ignore it.  If I move too quickly through the tabs or from full screen to small screen - it will crash.  It is very annoying.

    I just can't get it, all what windows 8 can offer to users it's redesign of UI, that's it?! Ok, it starts -10 faster, but performance is same, core is same, all is same, there's just new questionable UI. I mean, what the heck??? Old OS with new UI and new problems with flesh player, websites and problems with accessibility- looks like just "new" thing for some kids who clicks on every icon on screen and feels like some true hacker or something?

    "If browser UI elements are failing to render, that sounds like a handle leak; you can use Process Explorer to get a better understanding of what's going on. If the handle-count is anywhere near 10000, that's the problem." I've added handle count to the default list of things displayed by Task Manager, and will be keeping an eye on things for when I next experience this problem.

    You can search for requiresActiveX=true (currently about 12k hits) ?
