The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the STRunner ActiveX control (iestm32.dll) when handling certain properties or methods. These can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when a user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious website. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
