Microsoft Internet Explorer Denial-of-Service Vulnerability
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to handle certain HTML code. This issue is triggered when a remote attacker entices a victim user to visit a malicious website. Attackers may exploit this issue to crash Internet Explorer, effectively denying service to legitimate users.
Mitigation:
Users should avoid visiting untrusted websites.
