Georgi Guninski, a Bulgarian computer-bug hunter, has found a hole in Internet

Explorer 5.05 and Outlook Express 5.01 that allows attackers to gain read-only

access to remote systems by sending an HTML e-mail with Java code loaded through

 an object tag, or inviting a user to view a Web site with the code embedded

there.
