IE Zero-Day Exploit and WHS

Microsoft has released a Microsoft security advisory and a workaround for a vulnerability in the Microsoft Video ActiveX control which could allow remote code execution.

The vulnerability effects Windows Server 2003 editions which Windows Home Server is based on thus, it could be infected.

Although this affects Internet Explorer (IE), some WHS add-ins enable the display of IE within the console window, and that’s why we recommend the following fix.

The workaround can be applied manually or automatically by using the Microsoft Fix It (50287), which being an MSI file should be run directly from the Home Server by using the Remote Desktop Connection.

More information is available from here.
