Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is a web browser application that is capable rendering both static and dynamic contents. The application supports the ActiveX technology, which is a feature extension framework. IE is installed with a set of ActiveX controls including the DirectAnimation package. There exists a memory corruption vulnerability in the DirectAnimation ActiveX control. The flaw is due to improper validation of user supplied arguments to a certain method of the affected object. By persuading the target user to visit a malicious web site, an attacker may execute arbitrary code on the target system with the privileges of the currently logged on user. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the affected application will terminate abnormally. In a more sophisticated attack where code injection is successful, the behaviour of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the current user.
