Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (944533)

Severity: Critical

CVE-2007-4790: ActiveX Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in a component of Microsoft Fox Pro. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user

CVE-2008-0078: Argument Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer handles argument validation in image processing. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.

CVE-2008-0077: Property Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer handles a property method. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged on user.

CVE-2008-0076: HTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer interprets HTML with certain layout combinations. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution.
