Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
The most severe vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate HyperText Markup Language (HTML) file that is located in the same directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file.
Detailed Information on the risk:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer handles the loading of DLL files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.

An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
