Vulnerability in HTML Help Could Allow Code Execution (840315)

Severity: Critical
Vulnerabilities:
  • showHelp Vulnerability - CAN-2003-1041
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the processing of a specially crafted showHelp URL. The vulnerability could allow malicious code to run in the Local Machine security zone in Internet Explorer, which could allow an attacker to take complete control of an affected system.
  • HTML Help Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0201
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in HTML Help that could allow remote code execution on an affected system. If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
