IE Patch To Fix 57 Vulnerabilities

Billly Gates writes "Microsoft is advising users to stick with other browsers until Tuesday, when 57 patches for Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9, and even 10 are scheduled. There is no word if this patch is to protect IE from the 50+ Java exploits that were patched last week or the new Adobe Flash vulnerabilities. Microsoft has more information here. In semi-related news, IE 10 is almost done for Windows 7 and has a IE10 blocker available for corporations. No word on whether IE 10 will be included as part of the 57 updates."

Why would the Java exploits be related?

[thue]

IE10 bundles Flash, so I guess the flash bugfixes can be related.

But IE does not bundle Java - why would the IE bugfixes be related to the Java bugfixes?

browsers. Where did you got this information? MS bulletin does not state that and I doubt MS would ever make such recommendation no matter how serious the bug was.
