Additional information is available at:
CVE-2014-6271 (Shellshock) bash vulnerability
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Attackers are actively exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in versions 6-11 of Internet Explorer (IE) that allows them to surreptitiously hijack vulnerable computers.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
When an affected version of IE is used to access a malicious web site, attackers can silently take over the user's computer. Further details regarding this vulnerability are available at the following URL's:
