IE's June 2005 security update is now available

  • Article

Hello. My name is Jeremy Dallman. I am the project manager for Internet Explorer security bulletins.

I am announcing the availability of the June 2005 security updates. This group of security updates is available via Windows Update and includes a Critical fix for Internet Explorer.

Information about the IE Security update can be found at: MS05-025 – Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (883939)

This security update package contains fixes for the following vulnerabilities:

  • PNG Image Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CAN-2005-1211
  • XML Redirect Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CAN-2002-0648

Details on the vulnerabilities and workarounds can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-025.mspx.

This is a “Critical” update and affects all supported IE configurations from IE5.01 to IE6 for XPSP2 and IE6 for Server 2003 Service Pack 1. All IE security updates are cumulative and contain all previously released patches for each version of IE.

I encourage everybody to download these security updates and other non-IE security updates via Windows Update. Windows users are also strongly encouraged to turn on automatic updates on their systems so updates are downloaded more easily.

Jeremy
