Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Microsoft Windows Vista, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by errors in the Feed Headlines, Contacts, and Weather Gadgets when parsing HTML attributes, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into subscribing to a malicious RSS feed, adding or importing a malicious contact file, or clicking a malicious link in the Weather Gadget.
