Detail

Revision Note: V1.1 (December 9, 2009): Corrected a reference to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 976749 in the section, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update. Also corrected, in the Security Update Deployment section, the registry key for verification of the update for Internet Explorer 7 for all supported x64-based editions of Windows XP.Summary: This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. An ActiveX control built with Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) headers could also allow remote code execution; for more information about this issue, see the subsection, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update, in this section.

Title: HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CVE-2009-3672)
Description: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly handle objects in memory that (1) were not properly initialized or (2) are deleted, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a call to the getElementsByTagName method for the STYLE tag name, selection of the single element in the returned list, and a change to the outerHTML property of this element, related to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and mshtml.dll, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability." NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. NOTE: this issue was originally assigned CVE-2009-4054, but Microsoft assigned a duplicate identifier of CVE-2009-3672. CVE consumers should use this identifier instead of CVE-2009-4054.
