Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted web site. This is due to a memory corruption vulnerability in the OLE Automation mechanism and VBScript scripting engine. An attacker could exploit this to corrupt memory, allowing the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the system, install programs, view or modify data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
