Critical Internet Explorer patch 'does not work'

A fix to a serious bug in Microsoft's browser is still not working properly after a re-release, according to the firm that discovered the flaw.

A patch released by Microsoft to fix a critical security vulnerability in Internet Explorer does not work, according to security experts.

The "object type" vulnerability was discovered by eEye Digital Security around four months ago. A patch was released on 20 August -- and then re-released on 28 August, because under some circumstances it caused problems for some non-default operating system installations -- and looks due for yet another re-release because it simply doesn't fix the vulnerability it is supposed to, eEye said.
