Microsoft has published the advanced notification for an unscheduled patch update release to occur tomorrow, outside of the normal patch Tuesday cycle. The update is for an Internet Explorer vulnerability reported to be a vector for the Aurora exploit which was used to attack Google and several other companies. The last time Microsoft released an out of band patch was in July of 2009, when an update for Internet Explorer and a related Visual Studio update were released.
