This issue is triggered when an attacker entices a victim user to visit a malicious website. Remote attackers may exploit this issue to crash Internet Explorer, effectively denying service to legitimate users. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. Another non-standards compliant IE D.O.S.
