Description
Microsoft Internet Explorer contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists due to the way a browser handles character sets when none is defined by the initial webpage. This could allow a malicious user to create a specially crafted iframe that would execute arbitrary code in the user's browser, leading to a loss of integrity.
