Description: Michal Zalewski has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an array boundary error in the handling of HTML tags with multiple event handlers (e.g. onLoad). This can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that may allow execution of arbitrary code via a malicious HTML document containing an HTML tag with 94 or more event handlers. The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP SP2. Solution: Apply patches. Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 on Windows 2000 SP4: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...7B87-AF8F-4346-9164-596E3E5C22B1 Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...41E1-2B36-4696-987A-099FC57E0129 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP SP2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...FB31-E6B4-4771-81F1-4ACCEBF72133 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...6871-D217-41D3-BECC-B27FAFA00054 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based systems and Windows Server 2003 with SP1 for Itanium-based systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...957C-0ABE-4129-ABAF-AA2852AD62A3 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...8BE3-39EE-4937-9BD1-280FC35125C6 Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/downloa...FE3E-620A-4BBC-868B-CA2D9EFF7AC3 Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows ME: Patches are available via the Microsoft Update Web site or the Windows Update Web site.
