Microsoft Internet Explorer fails to properly handle embedded objects

Overview

Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) does not properly handle embedded dynamic objects. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Description

IOleClientSite interface

According to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-013,

_The IOleClientSite interface is the primary means by which an embedded object obtains information about the location and extent of its display site, its moniker, its user interface, and other resources provided by its container. For more information, see the product documentation. _

The Problem

IE fails to properly handle embedded dynamic objects allowing a remote attacker to gain access to IOleClientSite information. An attacker may be able to leverage that information in a way that could allow them to bypass IE security settings.
