If you thought using Windows 10 kept you safe from Internet Explorer's seemingly endless array of bugs, you were wrong. On Tuesday, Microsoft issued a patch for a number of critical Internet Explorer security flaws, which affect every version of Windows from Vista to Windows 10. One of the vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 (the last one is the one installed in both Windows 10 for 32-bit and 64-bit systems), allowed an attacker to execute remote code on the victim's computer by luring them onto a specially crafted web site using Internet Explorer. Microsoft's new browser Edge is not affected by these security flaws. Tuesday's fix changes how Internet Explorer handles objects in memory and adds additional permission validations to the browser.
