Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to view a specially crafted webpage.

Successfully exploiting this issue will cause the application to stop responding, denying service to legitimate users.

Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 are vulnerable.
