Microsoft has released Security Advisory 2757760 to address a
vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7 , 8, and 9. This

accesses specially crafted HTML documents (e.g., a web page or an HTML
email message or attachment).

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review Microsoft Security
Advisory 2757760. This advisory indicates that the workaround does not
correct the vulnerability, but it may help mitigate the risk against
known attack vectors.
