Microsoft plans to fix the 'F1' security bug that has been plaguing Internet Explorer users for six weeks in its monthly set of security patches tomorrow.
Microsoft, which will be fixing 25 security vulnerabilities in all, made the announcement through its Advance Notification Service late last week. It will release 11 bulletins addressing vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Exchange.
The F1 bug was announced at the beginning of March. Detailed in Microsoft security advisory 981169, it concerned a vulnerability in VBScript, exposed on supported versions of Windows 2000, XP, and Windows Server 2003 via Internet Explorer. Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista are immune to the bug, which allows arbitrary code to be remotely executed on a compromised system.
