The IE Cumulative Security Update for June 2009 is now available via Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

 

This update addresses seven privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. The security update addresses these vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles scripts, cached content, and initializes memory. For detailed information on the contents of this update, please see the following documentation:
