Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-023: Buffer Overrun In HTML Converter Could Allow Code Execution (Q823559) | |
|
||
| Time: 19:07 EST/00:07 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

There is a flaw in the way the HTML converter for Microsoft Windows handles a conversion request during a cut-and-paste operation. This flaw causes a security vulnerability to exist. A specially crafted request to the HTML converter could cause the converter to fail in such a way that it could execute code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Because this functionality is used by Internet Explorer, an attacker could craft a specially formed Web page or HTML e-mail that would cause the HTML converter to run arbitrary code on a user's system. A user visiting an attacker's Web site could allow the attacker to exploit the vulnerability without any other user action. | ||
