This bug is the result of a pointer overflow in IE6 and the crash does not  work in newer versions of the browser. There are no current security issues but this could be used by some malware or a script kiddie if they were to change the default start page to "ms-its:%F0:", rendering the browser unusable without a more advanced registry tweak.
