Technical Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash a vulnerable browser or take complete control of an affected system. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the Microsoft Vector Graphics Rendering library (Vgx.dll) when processing Vector Markup Language (VML) documents containing a "rect" shape with an overly long "fill" method, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands by convincing a user to visit a malicious Web page.
