Description:
Benjamin Tobias Franz has discovered a weakness in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to trick users into visiting a malicious website by obfuscating URLs.

This weakness is a variant of:

Example:
<a href="http://[trusted_site]/"><table><tr><td><a href="http://[malicious_site]/">Click here</td></tr></table></a>
