NOTE: According to Microsoft, this vulnerability is currently being exploited in limited, targeted attacks. 2) An error when attempting to access an uninitialised or deleted MSHTML object can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code when a user visits a specially crafted web page. 3) An error in the handling of the frame tag object can be exploited to disclose certain information or conduct clickjacking attacks. 4) An error in the handling of certain JavaScript objects can be exploited to bypass domain restrictions and may allow to disclose content from another domain or Internet Explorer zone. 5) An error exists in the handling of the "onPropertyChange" event when set to an object's attribute collection. This can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code when a user visits a specially crafted web page. NOTE: According to Microsoft, this vulnerability is currently being exploited in limited, targeted attacks. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
