> DESCRIPTION:
> A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
> exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
> attacks.
>
> The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the
> Microsoft Management Console (MMC) as HTML embedded resource files in
> the MMC library can be directly referenced from the Internet or
> Intranet zones via Internet Explorer.
>
> Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary script code in
> context of the "My Computer" zone.
>
> NOTE: Internet Explorer 5.01 users are vulnerable from URLs in the
