DESCRIPTION:
Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Internet
Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information and compromise a user's system.

1) An error within the XSS Filter feature when handling certain
events can be exploited to disclose information from another domain
or Internet Explorer zone.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Internet Explorer 8.

2) The application loads certain libraries in an insecure manner and
can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into
e.g. opening an HTML file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Internet Explorer 9.

3) An error within the handling of the Content-Disposition header can
be exploited to disclose information from another domain or Internet
Explorer zone.

SOLUTION:
Apply updates.
