CVE-2003-0532

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Internet Explorer versions 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1

Description: The issue arises from improper determination of object types returned by web servers, potentially allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved via an object tag with a data parameter to a malicious file hosted on a server that returns an unsafe Content-Type.

Recommendations: For versions 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1, consider disabling the use of object tags with external data parameters until a fix is available. Restrict access to malicious files hosted on servers that return unsafe Content-Types to minimize the risk of exploitation.
