Microsoft Outlook 2003 Predictable File Location

Microsoft Outlook 2003 is reported to be prone to store files that are specified in img tags, in predictable locations. This may present a security risk because many known (and potential) Internet Explorer vulnerabilities depend on the attacker being able to directly reference malicious content on a victim system. Given both the ability to place such content on the file system and reference it specifically by location, exploitation of many browser-based vulnerabilities becomes possible.
