Microsoft Blasts Security Firm for Early Disclosure

Tom Sanders writes on vnunet.com:

Microsoft has lashed out at UK security firm Computer Terrorism for publishing details about a software vulnerability in Internet Explorer before the vendor had a chance to issue a patch.

Computer Terrorism issued a security advisory on Monday and published proof-of-concept code demonstrating how a known flaw in Internet Explorer could be used to execute code. The method could be used by an attacker to take control over a system.
