Another day, another critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer

As reported by our pals over at the Unofficial Microsoft Blog, Microsoft is warning that there exists a vulnerability in Msddds.dll, and when it's called from a web page it may be used to crash Internet Explorer and execute arbitrary code on the victim's computer. Secunia is calling the bug "highly critical." eWeek has the details, as well as some work-arounds to protect yourself while you wait for Microsoft to issue a patch. Or, you could just switch to a different browser.
