This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page. The specific flaw exists within the Microsoft Animation ActiveX control MSCOMCT2.OCX. When parsing a malformed AVI file through this control an exploitable heap corruption can occur. As the AVI file can be loaded over a UNC path this issue is remotely exploitable and can result in arbitrary code execution under the context of the current user.
