Microsoft Internet Explorer is affected by a denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to handle exceptional conditions in a proper manner.
|
|
|
|
An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing a user to visit a malicious site, resulting in a denial-of-service condition in the application.
|
|
|
|
This issue results in a NULL-pointer dereference, causing the application to crash. If attackers can manipulate the pointer being dereferenced, code execution may be possible. Note that this has not been confirmed.
|
|
|
|
Since exploiting this issue requires only standard HTML, it may not be easily mitigated.

Internet Explorer 6 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. This issue will reportedly crash Microsoft Outlook as well.
