| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS05-038, KB896727) for the 'August. 2005 Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer' has not been applied. This patch replaces the one that is provided in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-025(KB883939), which is itself a cumulative update and resolves newly discovered public vulnerability:
1) JPEG Image Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1988): Remote Code Execution
2) Web Folder Behaviors Cross-Domain Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1989): Information Disclosure
3) COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1990): Remote Code Execution
If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or deleting data; or creating new accounts with full privileges. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who operate with administrative privileges.
