filenameVGX.DLL↗
  • →Exploit delivery requires a malicious HTML document containing a VML construct pointing to a malicious compressed image file; monitor for VGX.DLL processing compressed VML content with anomalous buffer sizes. ↗
  • →The vulnerability is triggered during rendering of VML (Vector Markup Language) graphics in Internet Explorer; inspect HTML pages referencing VML namespaces (urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml) delivered to IE 5.01, 6, or 7 clients. ↗
  • ·Affected versions are Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 only; the vulnerable component is VGX.DLL (the VML renderer). Detection should be scoped to these specific IE versions. ↗
  • ·Exploitation requires user interaction — the victim must be enticed to open a malicious HTML document; drive-by delivery via web or email is the expected attack vector. ↗
