Internet Explorer zero-day security hole
Microsoft released yesterday an emergency (unscheduled) patch to fix a zero-day security hole in Internet Explorer.
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msrc/2018/12/19/december-2018-security-update-release-2/
CVE-2018-8653.
Checked IPS updates, not yet there. Waiting patiently

Why not fix IE as that patch is available already ? Waiting for CP instead is real loyality but not good when seen from a security standpoint...

Because not everyone lives in a perfect world where security updates are rolled out right away and forced to be installed

In the meantime everyone who is in urgent need to detect & prevent this can use the Snort rules created by Cisco yesterday and implement it within Check Point as described here.

In the past when I had a point IPS product, analysts work on the back channel and I routinely got zeroday filters on the morning of the announcement of the zero-day. Are Checkpoint security analysts plugged in to the back channel communications like this?

We’re definitely part of the relevant programs with Microsoft and Adobe.
