Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Successful exploits can allow attackers to crash the affected browser, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Due to the nature of this issue attackers may be able to corrupt process memory and execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. The issue affects Internet Explorer 8; other versions may also be vulnerable. Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.7100.0 on Windows 7 RC on the x64 platform allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a certain DIV element in conjunction with SCRIPT elements that have empty contents and no reference to a valid external script location.
