  Microsoft Internet Explorer createControlRange() Memory Corruption
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

Secunia has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer's
createControlRange(), which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * Microsoft Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 6.0.

Description
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the
JavaScript function "createControlRange()". This can be exploited by e.g.
a malicious website to cause a heap memory corruption situation where the
program flow is redirected to the heap.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

Solution:
Microsoft has released patches (see
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms05-014.mspx>
MS05-014 for details).
