IE5.5 standalone

po0k

I've been trying for feckin ages to get all the updates/patches/security fixes for IE5.5 for Win2k/Win98SE and I canm't find the ones that stand alone. I only ahve a 28.8 at home but have acces to a 20MBit pipe in college.
Is there anywhere I can get them?
Also, when I use Opera it sometmes crashes because Windows seems to have a stubbrn preference for IE.

Evolt have a nice selection.

I'm not sure if you can download the patches to *.5 versions ont heir own without using the Microsoft Auto Updater.

Microsoft Customer,

this is the latest version of security update, the
"23 Mar 2002 Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all
known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer and
MS Outlook/Express as well as six new vulnerabilities, and is
discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-005. Install now to
protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which
could allow an attacker to run code on your computer.


Description of several well-know vulnerabilities:

- "Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-mail Attachment" vulnerability.
If a malicious user sends an affected HTML e-mail or hosts an affected
e-mail on a Web site, and a user opens the e-mail or visits the Web site,
Internet Explorer automatically runs the executable on the user's computer.

- A vulnerability that could allow an unauthorized user to learn the location
of cached content on your computer. This could enable the unauthorized
user to launch compiled HTML Help (.chm) files that contain shortcuts to
executables, thereby enabling the unauthorized user to run the executables
on your computer.

- A new variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability could enable a
malicious Web site operator to open two browser windows, one in the Web site's
domain and the other on your local file system, and to pass information from
your computer to the Web site.

- CLSID extension vulnerability. Attachments which end with a CLSID file extension
do not show the actual full extension of the file when saved and viewed with
Windows Explorer. This allows dangerous file types to look as though they are simple,
harmless files - such as JPG or WAV files - that do not need to be blocked.


System requirements:
Versions of Windows no earlier than Windows 95.

This update applies to:
Versions of Internet Explorer no earlier than 4.01
Versions of MS Outlook no earlier than 8.00
Versions of MS Outlook Express no earlier than 4.01

How to install
Run attached file q216309.exe

How to use
You don't need to do anything after installing this item.

Did the security update come in the mail too? There was a thread about that mail (or a mail close enough to it) on ie.comp too. I'd be very careful running that update, seeing as MS generally don't send those around via email.
