Summary:Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute code on a victim's system. A remote attacker could create a malicious Web page that uses the Shell.Application ActiveX object, which would execute arbitrary code on the victim's system, once the file is executed from the local hard disk. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by hosting the malicious Web page on a Web site or by sending it to a victim as an HTML email. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code within a victimÂ’s local security zone. It may be possible to alter registry settings, including the modification of existing settings, which could cause previously patched vulnerabilities to again become vulnerable.
