Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer, which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or take complete control of an affected system.
The first issue is caused by a memory corruption error when processing a Web page that contains certain unexpected method calls to HTML objects, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected browser or execute arbitrary code.
The second vulnerability is caused by a same origin policy violation when parsing a specially crafted request header, which could be exploited by malicious Web sites to read data from a Web page in another domain. For additional information, see : FrSIRT/ADV-2008-0980
