Discussion

Microsoft Windows 2000 Multiple COM Object Instantiation Code Execution Vulnerabilities

Microsoft Windows 2000 is prone to multiple memory-corruption vulnerabilities that are related to the instantiation of COM objects. These issues may be remotely triggered through Internet Explorer.

The vulnerabilities arise because of the way Internet Explorer tries to instantiate certain COM objects as ActiveX controls. This may result in arbitrary code execution, but this has not been confirmed. The affected objects are not likely intended to be instantiated through Internet Explorer.

This BID may be related to the issues discussed in BID 17453 (Microsoft Internet Explorer COM Object Instantiation Code Execution Vulnerability). However, these issues affect a different set of COM objects that were not addressed in previous BIDs.
