Microsoft Windows Common Controls is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to view a malicious webpage.
Successful exploits will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application (typically Internet Explorer) that uses the ActiveX control.
