Microsoft released a security advisory regarding the 0-day we reported on earlier.

Timeline:
Workarounds:
Please note that windowsupdate needs an ActiveX enabled browser, but you can do that with settings to the security zones and trusting Microsoft.

Please not that the outlook family is affected as well but that the default settings will typically mitigate much of the risk. That is as long as nobody or nothing has modified the settings ...

With thanks to the readers writing in to remind us and keep the details right.
