The vulnerability is caused due to an error in Microsoft Agent making it possible to spoof trusted Internet content (e.g. hide various security prompts by a Microsoft Agent character). This can be exploited to trick a user into believing that they are looking at trusted content when actually visiting a malicious web site. Successful exploitation requires that a user visits a malicious web site. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
