descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 27666 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-0077 Internet Explorer是微软发布的非常流行的WEB浏览器。 Microsoft IE在处理属性元素时存在漏洞，远程攻击者可能利用此漏洞控制用户系统。 IE没有正确地处理，如果为该属性分配了其他DOM元素的话，则在释放Variant数据类型期间就会触发内存破坏，导致覆盖虚拟函数地址。如果用户受骗访问了恶意网页的话，就可以触发这个漏洞，导致执行任意指令。 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 临时解决方法： * 配置Internet Explorer在运行活动脚本之前提示，或在Internet和本地intranet安全区中禁用活动脚本。 * 将Internet和本地intranet安全区设置为“高”以便在这些区中运行ActiveX控件和活动脚本之前提示。 厂商补丁： Microsoft --------- Microsoft已经为此发布了一个安全公告（MS08-010）以及相应补丁: MS08-010：Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (944533) 链接：<a href=http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-010.mspx?pf=true target=_blank>http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-010.mspx?pf=true</a>
