Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which was just patched with 10 fixes two weeks ago, suffers from yet another zero-day 
vulnerability that can be exploited remotely, security firm Symantec said Monday.

In an alert to customers of its DeepSight threat system, Symantec cited a vulnerability first posted to the Bugtraq 
security mailing list by researcher Michal Zalewski, who notes that IE is prone to memory corruption because of the way 
it handles malformed HTML.
