Symptoms

Microsoft has released a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer. This cumulative patch includes updates for the issues that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
818529� MS03-020: June, 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer
This cumulative patch also addresses the following newly-discovered vulnerabilities:
  • A vulnerability that involves the Internet Explorer cross-domain security model. The Internet Explorer cross-domain security model keeps windows of different domains from sharing information. This flaw could result in the execution of script in the My Computer zone. To exploit this flaw, an attacker would have to host a malicious Web site that contained a Web page that is designed to exploit this particular vulnerability and then persuade a user to visit that site. After the user has visited the malicious Web site, the attacker could run a malicious script by misusing the method that Internet Explorer uses to retrieve files from the browser cache, and cause that script to access information in a different domain. In the worst case, this could enable the Web site operator to load malicious script code onto a user's system in the context of the My Computer zone. Additionally, this flaw could also enable an attacker to run an executable file that was already present on the local system or to view files on the computer. The flaw exists because a file from the Internet with a maliciously-constructed URL can appear in the browser cache that is running in the My Computer zone.
  • A vulnerability that occurs because Internet Explorer does not correctly determine an object type that is returned from a Web server. It could be possible for an attacker who exploited this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on a user's system. If a user visited an attacker's Web site, the attacker could exploit this vulnerability without any other user action. An attacker could also craft an HTML e-mail message that tried to exploit this vulnerability.
  • A vulnerability that was discovered in the BR549.dll ActiveX control. This patch sets the Kill bit on the BR549 ActiveX control (CLSID: 167701E3-FDCF-11D0-A48E-006097C549FF). This control implemented support for the Microsoft Windows Reporting Tool, which is no longer supported by Internet Explorer. The control has been found to contain a security vulnerability, and, to protect customers who have this control installed, the patch prevents the control from running or from being reintroduced onto users' systems by setting the Kill bit for this control. For additional information about the Kill bit, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    240797� How to Stop an ActiveX Control from Running in Internet Explorer
In addition to these vulnerabilities, a change has been made to the way that Internet Explorer renders HTML files to address a flaw in the way that Internet Explorer renders Web pages. This flaw could cause the browser or Microsoft Outlook Express to fail. Internet Explorer does not correctly render an input type tag. When a user views an attacker's Web site, the user could inadvertently allow the attacker to exploit the vulnerability. Additionally, an attacker could craft a specially-formed HTML e-mail message that could cause Outlook Express to fail when the e-mail message is opened or is previewed.

Mitigating Factors

  • By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 runs in Enhanced Security Configuration. This default configuration of Internet Explorer helps to block these attacks. If Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration has been disabled, its protections that help to prevent these vulnerabilities from being exploited are removed.
  • In the Web-based attack scenario, the attacker would have to host a Web site that contained a Web page to exploit these vulnerabilities. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a malicious Web site outside the HTML e-mail vector. Instead, the attacker would have to lure them there, typically by getting them to click a link that would take them to the attacker's site.
  • Code that is executed on the system would only run under the rights of the logged-on user.
Notes
  • As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative patch that was released with security bulletin MS03-020 (818529), this cumulative patch also sets the Kill bit on the following ActiveX controls:

    240797� How to Stop an ActiveX Control from Running in Internet Explorer
  • Because this patch sets the Kill bit on the Microsoft HTML Help control, you may experience broken links in Help if you have not installed the updated HTML Help control from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 811630. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative patches that were released with security bulletins MS03-004 (810847), MS03-015 (813489), and MS03-020 (818529), this cumulative patch causes the window.showHelp method to stop functioning if you have not applied the HTML Help update. If you have installed the updated HTML Help control from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 811630, you can still use HTML Help functionality after you apply this update.

Notes
  • When you install this security patch on a Windows Server 2003-based or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003-based computer, the installer checks to see if any of the files that are being updated on your computer have previously been updated by a Microsoft hotfix. If you have previously installed a hotfix to update one of these files, then the installer copies the RTMQFE files to your computer. Otherwise, the installer copies the RTMGDR files to your computer.

  • To correctly remove (uninstall) more than one cumulative update for Internet Explorer on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, Version 2003, you must remove the updates in the same order that they were installed. For example, if you install 818529, and then install 822925, you must remove 822925 before you remove 818529.
  • On a Windows 2000-based or on a Windows XP-based computer, you can install the 813489 or the 818529 critical update after you install the 822925 critical update. If you do this, the updated files in the 822925 critical update are replaced by the older files in the 813489 or the 818529 critical updates. To resolve this issue, reinstall the 822925 critical update.
  • You can install the Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 version of the 822925 critical update on a Windows 2000 SP3-based computer that is running Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3. To resolve this issue, remove the Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 version of the 818529 critical update, and then install the Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 version of the 818529 critical update. Administrators can use the Ieuninst.exe tool to remove the Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 update. For more information, see the "Removal Information" section of this article. For example, to remove the update quietly, use the following command:
    c:\windows\ieuninst /q c:\windows\inf\q818529.inf
    Note This command assumes that Windows is installed in the C:\Windows folder.
  • On a computer that is running Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows 98 Second Edition, after you remove the 818529 critical update, you cannot remove previous cumulative updates for Internet Explorer (such as the 813489 critical update). This behavior is by design. Removing is supported only for the last cumulative update that you installed.
