Summary

The Tabular Data Control (TDC) ActiveX control in Microsoft Internet Explorer is susceptible to a memory corruption vulnerability. By crafting a long URL that exploits the DataURL parameter, remote attackers can execute arbitrary code. This occurs through a weakness in the CTDCCtl::SecurityCheckDataURL function, which does not properly handle memory allocations, leading to potential security breaches.
