Microsoft fixes four flaws, one critical
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft released two security bulletins late Tuesday. The first updates a patch the company released for a handful of its chat software clients in May, and the second details a work-around to a flaw in its Internet Explorer Web browser that comes as a result of the aging Gopher protocol.
Microsoft's work-around for the [Gopher vulnerability] issue is the same as that provided by Online Solutions: that users should select Internet options from within IE's Tools menu, then click Connections and select "LAN settings." From there, users should check "Use proxy server for your LAN," click the "Advanced..." button; type "localhost" into the textbox next to the word "Gopher" and put "1" in the port field.
