MS.IE.WebViewFolderIcon.Remote.DoS

description-logoDescription

This indicates detection of an attempt to exploit a Denial of Service vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service, because the application fails to properly handle error conditions. The application crashes when passed a "0x7fffffff" argument to the "setSlice" method in a "WebViewFolderIcon" ActiveX object. This leads to an invalid memory copy and crashes the browser.
