Description: A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A remote user can conduct a cross-domain scripting attack.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will modify a page location via a JavaScript
object to execute arbitrary scripting code on the target user's system in the context of an arbitrary domain.
The code will be
able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the target domain, access data
recently submitted by the target user via web form to the domain, or take actions on the domain acting as the target user.
