Description |
Microsoft Internet Explorer contains a flaw that allows remote attackers to cause a file to be automatically downloaded and executed on a vulnerable system. The issue is due to IE incorrectly handling the "Content-Type" and "Content-Disposition" HTTP header fields. By modifying these headers, an attacker can create a HTML document that would cause IE to download and execute the files without any security considerations.
