| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS07-004, 929969) for 'Vulnerability in Vector Markup Language' has not been applied. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Vector Markup Language (VML) implementation (vgx.dll). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user viewed the Web page. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
