According to the article, this puts about a quarter of the entire browser market at risk. (Source: Fire Eye) In a refinement of phishing, this vulnerability takes advantage of memory corruption after the user has been lured to a malicious website.

And since Microsoft kinda stopped supporting XP earlier this month, people still blindly clinging to it won't get the upcoming patch for this day-zero "use after free" bug.

With the amount of xp mods on the internet surely a patch will be released anyway.

My IE doesnt even work anymore, if I try to boot it, all I get is a "not found" error code.
