| A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash a vulnerable browser or potentially take complete control of an affected system. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when processing a "WebViewFolderIcon" object with a specially crafted "setSlice()" method, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted Web page. A fully functional exploit has been publicly released. |
