MS Releases Emergency Fixit Tool To Address Active IE 9 & 10 Exploit (Security Advisory 2934088)

Microsoft has just released a Fixit tool to remediate a security issue in IE 9 and 10.  The exploit addressed in Security Advisory 2934088 is being actively exploited & allows for remote code execution on the vulnerable system.

Seriously consider applying this patch in an expedited manner.  At the very least deploy it to desktop and other end user devices running the affected application and OS as soon as you can.  These systems are usually used for web surfing and are the machines most likely to be compromised.  Also make sure any/all malware protection programs deployed on your network have updates that can protect users from this attack until you have fully deployed the Fixit tool.
