DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Unspecified input is not properly sanitised by the Indexing service
before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session.

Successful exploitation requires that the Indexing service is
accessible through IIS.
