    "Problem Description:
    --------------------
    If specific MIME type is specified in the Content-Type header of
    an HTTP response and if a special string is defined in the Content-
    Disposition header, this string can be automatically downloaded and
    opened within the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) under several
    conditions in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A malicious website
    administrator can induce a user to view a specially crafted web site
    to cause the script to be automatically executed upon viewing the
    malicious contents. Execution of the script can then, disclose the
    path to the TIF directory to the attacker.

    Additionally, if this vulnerability is exploited through a specific
    string in the Content-Disposition header, the OBJECT tag can be
    parsed in the "My Computer" zone. However, if the user has access
    to the malicious Web site, the attacker will be able to execute
    programs on the computer with the user's privileges."

    "Problem Description:
    --------------------
    A buffer overflow occurs in Microsoft Internet Explorer when HTML
    files with an unusually long string including double-byte character
    sets in the Type property of the Object tag are processed.

    In order to trigger this vulnerability, malicious website administrators
    could induce Internet Explorer users to view a specially crafted web
    site and consequently execute arbitrary code with the users' privileges."
