| win-ms08kb956390-update (45565) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 956390 is not installed, which could allow a remote attacker to exploit the following vulnerabilities:
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to bypass cross-domain security restrictions, caused by an error in the location and location.href property of a window object. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could bypass same-origin policy restrictions and execute JavaScript in the context of another site. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to possibly perform cross-site scripting attacks and launch further attacks on the vulnerable system.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to bypass cross-domain security restrictions, caused by improper handling of HTML elements. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web page using Internet Explorer, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass cross-domain security restrictions and obtain sensitive information from another security zone or domain in Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer 6 SP1 running on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to bypass cross-domain security restrictions, caused by improper handling of certain events. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web page using Internet Explorer, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass cross-domain security restrictions and obtain sensitive information from another security zone or domain in Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer 6 SP1 running on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to bypass cross-domain security restrictions, caused by improper interpretation of the identification of the origin of a script. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web page using Internet Explorer, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass cross-domain security restrictions and obtain sensitive information from another security zone or domain in Internet Explorer.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a vulnerability related to the componentFromPoint() JavaScript method. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.
Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper handling of uninitialized memory. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.

- CVE-2008-2947: Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6, and 7 allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains via JavaScript that uses the Object data type for the value of a (1) location or (2) location.href property, related to incorrect determination of the origin of web script, aka Window Location Property Cross-Domain Vulnerability. NOTE: according to Microsoft, CVE-2008-2948 and CVE-2008-2949 are duplicates of this issue, probably different attack vectors.
- CVE-2008-3472: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly determine the domain or security zone of origin of web script, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended cross-domain security policy, and execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted HTML document, aka HTML Element Cross-Domain Vulnerability.
- CVE-2008-3473: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly determine the domain or security zone of origin of web script, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended cross-domain security policy, and execute arbitrary code or obtain sensitive information, via a crafted HTML document, aka Event Handling Cross-Domain Vulnerability.
- CVE-2008-3474: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly determine the domain or security zone of origin of web script, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended cross-domain security policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML document, aka Cross-Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability.
- CVE-2008-3475: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does not properly handle errors related to using the componentFromPoint method on xml objects that have been (1) incorrectly initialized or (2) deleted, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, aka Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
- CVE-2008-3476: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 does not properly handle errors associated with access to uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, aka HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
