Description

 Microsoft IE and Outlook contain a flaw that may allow a malicious attacker to send users a link that loads arbitrary html code which is not displayed and is stored locally. The issue is triggered when an IMG tag is enclosed in the A HREF tag, as the reference content is stored locally in the user's cache. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to trick users into executing stored content locally by sending a URL whose A HREF tag points them to the locally cached content.
