Summary:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (perhaps other versions as well) is
vulnerable to a denial of service due to an error in handling certain
self-referential <OBJECT> definitions in HTML documents.  This occurs whe=
n
an object of type "text/html" is specified, with the DATA field
referencing the name of the HTML document in which it is defined.  There
may be other circumstances in which this sort of self-reference may lead
to a browser crash.
