Microsoft Internet Explorer Java Applet Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is affected by a denial of service vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to handle exceptional conditions in a proper manner. This issue only presents itself when the J2SE Java runtime environment is installed.

An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing a user to visit a malicious site resulting in a denial of service condition in the application.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 is affected by this issue.
