Minor issues surface after IE 7 launch
Published October 20th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
A day after its release, some minor issues with Internet Explorer 7 have materialized, but overall 
the new Microsoft browser appears to be well received.
Microsoft has defused what would be the most serious issue: a first security hole in the browser since its official release. There is a vulnerability, but in Outlook Express, not IE, Christopher Budd, a Microsoft security response representative, wrote on a corporate Microsoft blog Thursday. Security firms, including Secunia, had reported a flaw in IE 7.
Web browsers, including IE 7, can be used as the vector in an attack that exploits the Outlook Express flaw, Budd wrote. Microsoft is investigating the issue and may issue a fix at a later date, he wrote. The problem has not yet been used in active attacks, the software maker said.
