Description
Buffer overflow in mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180, and probably other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML tag with a large number of script action handlers such as onload and onmouseover, as demonstrated using onclick, aka the "Multiple Event Handler Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
