Description:
Microsoft has issued patches, in another attempt to fix the well known cross domain vulnerabilities, allowing malicious web sites to access contents in other domains including local zone.
See former Secunia advisories regard this and similar issues:
http://secunia.com/advisories/7569/
The first vulnerability addressed in this advisory is also called "cross-frame dialogArguments access", this allows a malicious website to get access to other domains through the use of maliciously crafted dialog boxes, this includes the local security zone, the malicious website could place and execute arbitrary files.
The other vulnerability allows a website to call the showHelp() function, showHelp() will open a new webpage and use that, however because showHelp() runs with the privileges of the user, the next new webpage is executed in the local security zone, this could be used to place and execute arbitrary code.
