Discussion

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile Remote WML Content Denial of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the software fails to properly handle malformed remote data.

Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to hang or crash the application, denying service to legitimate users. Reportedly, to recover from the denial-of-service condition, users of affected devices must perform a 'hard battery reset'.
