Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer

CVE-2006-7065

Summary

Microsoft Internet Explorer is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to induce a denial of service. By sending an IFRAME containing a specially crafted XML file alongside an XSL stylesheet, an attacker can cause a crash in mshtml.dll during a refresh operation. This behavior is likely the result of a null pointer dereference, which can significantly disrupt the functionality of the browser for users. It is crucial for users and organizations to remain vigilant and implement adequate security measures to mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability.
