iDefense Security Advisory 07.19.07 - Remote exploitation of an input handling vulnerability within multiple browsers on the Microsoft Windows platform allows code execution as the local user. This vulnerability is due to interaction between programs. The most commonly used Microsoft Windows URL protocol handling code doesn't provide a way for the URI handling application to distinguish the end of one argument from the start of another. The problem is caused by the fact that browsers do not pct-encode certain characters in some URIs, which does not comply with the behavior that RFC3986 (also known as IETF STD 66) requires. As a result, a specially constructed link could be interpreted as multiple arguments by a URI protocol handler.
