Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error when processing specially crafted JPEG images, which could be exploited via a malicious Web site or e-mail message to execute arbitrary commands.

The second flaw is due to a cross domain error in the process by which certain URLs are interpreted when browsing from a Web page to a Web folder view using WebDAV, which could be exploited by attackers to disclosure sensitive information or execute arbitrary code.

The third vulnerability is due to a memory corruption error when instantiating certain COM objects as ActiveX controls, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
