Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted web page that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow, memory exception, access control, or other flaw and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user can cause an object to register an exception handler that may not properly handle certain conditions. As a result, a memory corruption error may occur and arbitrary code may be executed.
A remote user can send specially UTF-8 encoded HTML to cause arbitrary code to be executed.
A remote user can pass specially crafted data to the DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Light ActiveX control to execute arbitrary code.
A remote user can cause Internet Explorer to instantiate a COM objects that shoud not be instantiated in Internet Explorer.
A remote user can create a specially crafted cascading style sheet (CSS) that, when loaded by the target user, will cause potentially sensitive information on the target user's system to be disclosed.
A remote user can cause spoofed content to be displayed in a browser window. The address bar and other parts of the trust user interface can be displayed in the context of a trusted site while the spoofed content remains under the control of the remote user.
A remote user can create a specially crafted web page that, when loaded by the target user, will cause multipart HTML (.mht) files to be saved, appliwng remote code to be executed.
