> DESCRIPTION:
> Hai Nam Luke has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer,
> which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing
> attacks.
> 
> The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the loading of
> web content and Macromedia Flash Format files (".swf") in browser
> windows. This can be exploited to spoof the address bar in a browser
> window showing a Flash file from a malicious web site.
> 
> NOTE: The impact of exploitation is reduced because the URL of the
> malicious Flash file is visible in the title of the browser window.
> 
> The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with
> Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP SP1/SP2. Other
> versions may also be affected.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> Disable Active Scripting support.
