Microsoft Internet Explorer contains three vulnerabilities that may allow arbitrary code to be executed. The privileges gained by a remote attacker depend on the software component being attacked. For example, a user browsing to an unsafe web page using Internet Explorer could have code executed with the same privilege as the user. These vulnerabilities have been reported to be relatively straightforward to exploit; even vigilant users visiting a malicious website, viewing a malformed image, or reading an HTML-rendered email message may be affected.
