The flaw can be triggered through\\n          Internet Explorer 6 and 7 by using the CURSOR style sheet directive\\n          to load a malicious .ANI file. The module can also exploit Mozilla\\n          Firefox by using a UNC path in a moz-icon URL and serving the .ANI file\\n          over WebDAV.
