Technical Description:
----------------------
* Navigation Method Cross-Domain Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0549: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer because of the way that it handles navigation methods. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious web page that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run malicious script code in the Local Machine security zone in Internet Explorer. If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, this could allow the attacker to take complete control of an affected system.

* Malformed BMP File Buffer Overrun Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0566: A buffer overrun vulnerability exists in the processing of BMP image file formats that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. If the user is logged on with administrative privileges an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who operate with administrative privileges.

* Malformed GIF File Double Free Vulnerability - CAN-2003-1048: Abuffer overrun vulnerability exists in the processing of GIF image file formats that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. If the user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who operate with administrative privileges.
