Microsoft has released Security Bulletin MS10-002, regarding Internet Explorer vulnerabilities. In addition to patching the flaw exposed by Operation Aurora, the company released patches for seven other vulnerabilities.
We are aware of reports of private CVE-2010-0249 exploits impacting Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (though these are mitigated with ASLR and DEP). Historically, the odds of private exploits being made public rise dramatically after a patch is released.
In my last post, I mentioned many detections were occurring on systems residing in China. The number of detections today in the United States are closing that gap.
This is not a patch to put on the back burner.

Is McAfee planning on releasing a HIPS signature? We rely on HIPS in our environment to protect against unpatched systems. We’re currently deploying this out-of-band patch, but would like to have the added protection of HIPS as well. Or can you confirm that the buffer overflow protection from HIPS will protect against all exploits from this vulnerability?
How do I run the patch to remedy the Operation Aurora? My laptop has already been infected, and now I am desperate to protect my desktop.
