MS05-052 : Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (896688)link out ico
This update replaces the update that is included with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-038. That update is also a cumulative update.


This update does include Hotfixes that have been released since the release of MS04-004 or MS04-025, but they will only be installed on systems that need them. Customers who have received Hotfixes from Microsoft or from their support providers since the release of MS04-004 or MS04-025 should review the “I have received a Hotfix from Microsoft or my support provider since the release of MS04-004. Is that Hotfix included in this security update?” question in the FAQ section of this bulletin to determine how you can make sure that the necessary Hotfixes are installed. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 896688 also documents this in more detail.
