Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Internet Explorer (IE), which can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary script code on a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the custom errors generated by IE, when a website returns an error page. The problem is that the requested URL is included, which may allow execution of arbitrary script code in the "My Computer" security zone.
Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into visiting a malicious website or click a malicious link. Afterwards, the user must click the link generated by the resource.
