Microsoft Internet Explorer Scrollbar-Base-Color Partial Denial Of
Service Vulnerability

http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8874/discussion/

"It has been reported that Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a
vulnerability that may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service
condition in the software. The problem occurs due to improper
handling of scrollbar-base-color attribute of the div object.

Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to create
a webpage containing malicious script code that would cause a user's
browser to crash upon visiting the site.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 has been reported to be vulnerable to
this issue, however other versions may be affected as well."
