Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in Microsoft Agent (agentdpv.dll) when processing specially crafted URLs passed as arguments to certain methods.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website with Internet Explorer.
