CVE-2005-2831

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page with embedded CLSIDs that reference certain COM objects that are not intended for use within Internet Explorer, aka a variant of the "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2127.
