| VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within vgx.dll while parsing VML objects from the DOM. Specifically, the faulty code exists while handling imagedata parameters during page deconstruction.
