Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using the document.getElementByID Javascript function to access crafted Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) elements, and possibly other unspecified vectors involving certain layout positioning combinations in an HTML file.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección usando la función Javascript document.getElementByID para acceder a elementos de Hojas de Estilo en Cascada (CSS) manipulados, y posiblemente otros vectores no especificados relacionados con determinadas combinaciones de posicionamiento en el diseño de un archivo HTML.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific vulnerability exists due to improper handling of CSS class values. Accessing a specially crafted CSS element via document.getElementByID causes a memory corruption eventually leading to code execution.
