Microsoft Windows Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0 Response Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability ( 11 August 2010 )

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft XML Core Services handles HTTP responses. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user browses a Web site that contains specially crafted content or opens specially crafted HTML e-mail. 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. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
