Microsoft Internet Explorer HTTP 1.1 and Compression Long URI Buffer Overflow Variant Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer HTTP 1.1 and Compression Long URI Buffer Overflow Variant Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. A successful exploit may result in arbitrary code-execution in the context of the user running the browser.

This issue was introduced with the rereleased patches of Microsoft advisory MS06-042.

This issue is nearly identical to that discussed in BID 19667 (Microsoft Internet Explorer HTTP 1.1 and Compression Long URI Buffer Overflow Vulnerability), but is a separate vulnerability.
