The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of the ART image file format. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when the user views a malicious web site, which contains a specially crafted ART image, using Internet Explorer or opens a HTML e-mail message containing the image. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
