Title: Microsoft Internet Explorer Argument Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft Internet Explorer is a browser for the Windows operating system.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability when validating arguments during image processing. The image processing is preformed by the 'dxtmsft.dll' ActiveX control identified by CLSID: 1e54333b-2a00-11d1-8198-0000f87557db.
Remote attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Successful exploits will compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
