Microsoft probes reports of new holes in Explorer
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. is investigating a
report of seven new security holes in its Internet Explorer browser
discovered by a Chinese researcher, a company spokesman said on
Friday.

The spokesman said Microsoft is not aware of anyone actively
exploiting the holes or of any impact on customers.

Two holes are critical and could allow an attacker to run a program
that would delete files, crash the machine or take control of it from
a remote location, said Russ Cooper of TruSecure Corp. who edits the
NTBugTraq e-mail list.

Cooper said, however, he was not yet concerned about the security
holes because of the inactivity.

"There just aren't any new attacks being made" on Internet Explorer,
he said.

The discovery of the holes was not reported directly to Microsoft but
was announced on public mailing lists, a move the Microsoft spokesman
criticized.

Software companies prefer that independent researchers notify them of
potential holes in their products before they release the news to the
public so the companies have time to develop fixes for them.
