Download IE 9.0.2 for Windows 7 SP1 and Earlier Patch Critical Vulnerabilities
Internet Explorer 9 has been pushed first to version 9.0.1 a couple of months ago, and now to v9.0.2 by two update packages released by Microsoft.
IE 9.0.2 is currently available through Windows Update as the August 2011 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, and IE 9.0.1 was also served automatically to users through WU as the June 2011 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer.
Essentially, IE 9.0.2, as v9.0.1 before it, is nothing more than the result of the integration of a range of patches designed to fix security vulnerabilities affecting the browser. The version change reflects the fact that a number of security holes have been plugged. No less than seven security vulnerabilities have been resolved by the patches packed inside the August 2011 Cumulative Security Update for IE.
This security update resolves five vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer that were disclosed in coordination with Microsoft and two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, revealed Tyson Storey, Program Manager, Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user visits a malicious, specially crafted Web page using IE. Users who run without administrative rights are more secure in general and should be less impacted than other users ( ).
Microsoft has slapped a severity rating of Critical for the August 2011 Cumulative Security Update for IE6, IE7, IE8, and IE9. Obviously, only customers running Windows 7 SP1, Windows 7 RTM and Windows Vista SP2, as well as their server equivalents, will be able to update to IE 9.0.2.
