Vulnerability Information
XSS Filter Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2011-1992
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer. An
attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted
Web page that contains malicious JavaScript code. An attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could view content from another domain or Internet
Explorer zone.
Internet Explorer Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability - CVE-2011-2019
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer
handles the loading of DLL files. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. If a user
is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create
new accounts with full user rights.
Content-Disposition Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2011-3404
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer that could
allow an attacker to force the browser to perform unexpected actions when a
user downloads Web content, allowing an attacker to view content from a different
domain or Internet Explorer zone other than the domain or zone of the attacker's
Web page.
