Microsoft Internet Explorer Self-Referential Object Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer Self-Referential Object Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is vulnerable to a denial of service due to an error in handling certain self-referential <OBJECT> definitions in HTML documents. This occurs when an object of type "text/html" is specified, with the DATA field referencing the name of the HTML document in which it is defined. Other circumstances may also trigger this condition.
