Update for Internet Explorer 6 for XP Service Pack 2

This update addresses an issue when you view a Web page that can render vector graphics on screen in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Internet Explorer may stop responding or crash and you receive an access violation in Vgx.dll. You can download the patch from HERE.

I hope also the patch from the URL spoofing vulnerability previously signaled...

Thanks Senkwe, I've read this news this morning and I'm really surprised... Saying that spoofing is not a security flaw is a terrible error I think. What do you think if someone clones the Bank Of America website and place spoofed urls around the world, redirecting users to the wrong site for keeping track of credit card numbers for example? We've to thanks the author of this decision I think...
