Description: Eiji James Yoshida has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. UTF-7 encoded input is not properly sanitised by the Indexing service before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session. Successful exploitation requires that the Indexing service is accessible through IIS. Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector. Solution: Apply patches.
