Microsoft has announced that a zero day bug discovered in many versions of Internet Explorer will be fixed via a security patch later today



From Neowin:
Over the weekend, the security firm FireEye reported that a zero day bug in many versions of Internet Explorer was already being exploited by attackers. Now Microsoft is taking the unusual move of announcing that the exploit will be fixed as part of its previously revealed plans to release a number of security bulletins today as part of "Patch Tuesday".

Normally, Microsoft does not offer specific information about the security bulletins it will release during "Patch Tuesday" ahead of time so as not to alert hackers. However, because the IE zero day bug is already being used in the wild, Microsoft posted a note on its Security Response Center blog on Monday stating that the exploit, which affects an Internet Explorer ActiveX Control, will be closed as part of the MS13-090 bulletin.
