Troj/SWFDL-H is a version of the Poison Ivy Trojan that is used in web-based attacks linked to a 'zero day' hole in Internet Explorer to affect compromised Windows systems running Internet Explorer. Troj/SWFDL-H exploits the Java vulnerability that affects Internet Explorer (versions 6, 7, 8 and 9) and Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in an Internet Explorer function to access an object that has been erased or improperly allocated. This vulnerability can compromise a system's memory in order to enable cybercriminals run their own code with the consent of the current user on Internet Explorer. The vulnerability can be remotely exploited using a website generated to target the security hole.
