Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2
Description
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the NDFXArtEffects component. This can be triggered by remote attackers sending long values for certain properties, specifically
RGBExtraColor, RGBForeColor, and RGBBackColor, leading to a denial of service where the application crashes.Recommendations
For Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2, consider restricting access to the NDFXArtEffects component until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long values for the
RGBExtraColor, RGBForeColor, and RGBBackColor properties to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
