The vulnerabilities are caused due to certain ActiveX controls (e.g. vfp6r.dll) including the insecure "foxcommand()" or "DoCmd()" methods. These can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary commands on the system when a user visits a malicious website. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX controls.
