Security flaw hits Internet Explorer

Hackers are exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in Microsoft Video Active X Control to target Internet Explorer users.

The affected component is part of Microsoft DirectShow, and is installed by default with Windows XP. The company said it was already aware of attacks that were exploiting the vulnerability.

Security vendor Symantec said that thousands of websites had been compromised and were now hosting the exploit.

Attackers could exploit the flaw by leading a user to visit a malicious website. Hackers could then silently install code on the victim’s computer.

If the hacker is successful, they could install a backdoor to the system, stealing credentials and confidential information.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP users with Internet Explorer 6 and 7 were at risk. Symantec said the exploit in the wild did not yet work on Internet Explorer 8, but claimed that it was possible to “trigger” the vulnerability through it.
