Please consider the following workarounds","workarounds":"Disable the LEAD JPEG 2000 ActiveX control in Internet Explorer The vulnerable control can be disabled in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the following CLSID: {00140020-B1BA-11CE-ABC6-F5B2E79D9E3F} More information about how to set the kill bit is available in Microsoft Support Document 240797. Alternatively, the following text can be saved as a .REG file and imported to set the kill bit for this control: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\ActiveX Compatibility\\{00140020-B1BA-11CE-ABC6-F5B2E79D9E3F}] \"Compatibility Flags\"=dword:00000400\nDisable ActiveX Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities.
