MSHTML.DLL Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
This bug involves Jscript's ability to handle multiple window objects. If a window object is deleted after it receives data and then re-initalized, the library will reportedly crash. This behavior has been attributed to a stack overflow by its discoverer. It is reportedly not exploitable in any way that may permit an attacker to gain access to the victim host.
Mitigation:
Microsoft has acknowledged this bug and it should be fixed in the next service pack.
