Microsoft
September 19, 2013

Today, we released a Fix it workaround tool to address a new IE vulnerability that had been actively exploited in extremely limited, targeted attacks. This Fix it makes a minor modification to mshtml.dll when it is loaded in memory to address the vulnerability. This Fix it workaround tool is linked from Security Advisory 2887505 that describes this issue. The exploit we analyzed worked only on Windows XP or Windows 7 running Internet Explorer 8 or 9.

Here are the links to both apply and uninstall the Fix it solution:

Enable Fix it	Disable Fix it
Microsoft Fix it 51001	Microsoft Fix it 51002

Simply download and run the Microsoft Fix-It to secure your copy of Internet Explorer
