Lets IE crash
This exploit causes Internet Explorer to crash when a maliciously crafted HTML page is opened. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the way Internet Explorer handles certain HTML tags. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. embedding a maliciously crafted HTML page in an e-mail message or web page.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer
