As usual, Microsoft is having a hard time with security issues. Now it has been forced to create a patch for a patch released earlier this month for a critical security vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

The bug in the MS06-042 security update causes Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 1 to crash due a buffer overrun if the user visits certain websites.

Microsoft admits that flaw is exploitable and could allow an attacker to control a computer if the user visits a website designed for that purpose.

At last report, Microsoft had still not released a new fix for MS06-042 because it found problems in a fix that was supposed to be released on Tuesday.
