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 specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory corruption error or integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
GWSlabs (via VeriSign iDefense Labs), Derek Soeder (via Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program), Sing-ting Tsai and Ming-Chieh Pan of Trend Micro, and Cris Neckar of Google's Chrome Security Team reported these vulnerabilities.
