Overview

This is the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1 component update to address MS03-048: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (824145).

This is a cumulative update that includes the functionality of all the previously-released updates for Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 5.5, and Internet Explorer 6.0. Additionally, it eliminates the following five newly-discovered vulnerabilities:

- Three vulnerabilities that involve the cross-domain security model of Internet Explorer, which keeps windows of different domains from sharing information. These vulnerabilities could result in the execution of script in the My Computer zone. To exploit one of these vulnerabilities, an attacker would have to host a malicious Web site that contains a Web page that is designed to exploit the particular vulnerability and then persuade a user to view the Web page. The attacker could also create an HTML e-mail message that designed to exploit one of these vulnerabilities and persuade the user to view the HTML e-mail message. After the user has visited the malicious Web site or viewed the malicious HTML e-mail message an attacker who exploited one of these vulnerabilities could access information from other Web sites, access files on a user's system, and run arbitrary code on a user's system. This code would run in the security context of the currently logged on user.

- A vulnerability that involves the way that zone information is passed to an XML object within Internet Explorer. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to read local files on a user's system. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to host a malicious Web site that contains a Web page that is designed to exploit the particular vulnerability and then persuade a user to view the Web page. The attacker could also create an HTML e-mail message that is designed to exploit this vulnerability and persuade the user to view the HTML e-mail message. After the user visits the malicious Web site or views the malicious HTML e-mail message, the user would then be prompted to download an HTML file. If the user accepts the download of this HTML file, an attacker could read local files that are in a known location on the user's system.

- A vulnerability that involves performing a drag-and-drop operation during dynamic HTML (DHTML) events in Internet Explorer. This vulnerability could allow a file to be saved in a target location on the user's system if the user clicks a link. No dialog box would request that the user approve this download. To exploit one of these vulnerabilities, an attacker would have to host a malicious Web site that contains a Web page that has a specially-crafted link. The attacker would then have to persuade a user to click that link. The attacker could also create an HTML e-mail message that has a specially-crafted link, and then persuade the user to view the HTML e-mail message and then click the malicious link. If the user clicked this link, code of the attacker's choice could be saved on the user's computer in a targeted location.

As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative updates that were released with bulletins MS03-004, MS03-015, MS03-020, MS03-032, and MS03-040, this cumulative update causes the window.showHelp( ) control to no longer work if you have not applied the HTML Help update. If you have installed the updated HTML Help control from Knowledge Base article 811630, you will still be able to use HTML Help functionality after you apply this update.
