Microsoft Internet Explorer before 8 uses the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a document provided in a (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response from a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script by modifying this CONNECT response, aka an "SSL tampering" attack.
The JavaScript implementation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 and earlier does not properly restrict the set of values contained in the object returned by the getComputedStyle method, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about visited web pages by calling this method.
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 and earlier does not properly handle the :visited pseudo-class, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about visited web pages via a crafted HTML document, a related issue to CVE-2010-2264.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to misrepresent the source of a file in the File Download dialogue box to trick users into thinking that the file type is safe to download, aka "File Origin Spoofing."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 5.5 allows remote attackers to execute scripts in the Local Computer zone via a URL that references a local HTML resource file, a variant of "Cross-Site Scripting in Local HTML Resource" as identified by CAN-2002-0189.
The legacy <script> data-island capability for XML in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary XML files, and portions of other files, via a URL whose "src" attribute redirects to a local file.
Buffer overflow in a legacy ActiveX control used to display specially formatted text in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, aka "Buffer Overrun in Legacy Text Formatting ActiveX Control".
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under fewer security restrictions via a malformed web page that requires NetBIOS connectivity, aka "Zone Spoofing through Malformed Web Page" vulnerability.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to view arbitrary files that contain the "{" character via script containing the cssText property of the stylesheet object, aka "Local Information Disclosure through HTML Object" vulnerability.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed Content-Disposition and Content-Type header fields that cause the application for the spoofed file type to pass the file back to the operating system for handling rather than raise an error message, aka the second variant of the "Content Disposition" vulnerability.
Double free vulnerability in mshtml.dll for certain versions of Internet Explorer 6.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed GIF image.
Race condition in Microsoft Internet Explorer allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly execute code by tricking a user into performing a drag-and-drop action from certain objects, such as file objects within a folder view, then predicting the drag action, and re-focusing to a malicious window.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via by instantiating the (1) Mdt2gddr.dll, (2) Mdt2dd.dll, and (3) Mdt2gddo.dll COM objects as ActiveX controls, which leads to memory corruption.
jscript.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a Shockwave Flash object that contains ActionScript code that calls VBScript, which in turn calls the Javascript document.write function, which triggers a null dereference.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted website using Javascript that creates, modifies, deletes, and accesses document objects using the tags property, which triggers heap corruption, related to uninitialized or deleted objects, a different issue than CVE-2007-3902 and CVE-2007-3903, and a variant of "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "unexpected method calls to HTML objects," aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 through 7 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of local files that have associated images via a res:// URI in the src property of a JavaScript Image object, as demonstrated by the URI for a bitmap image resource within a (1) .exe or (2) .dll file.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the CRecalcProperty function in mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by calling the setExpression method and then modifying the outerHTML property of an HTML element, one variant of "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Microsoft Internet Explorer before 8 displays a cached certificate for a (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response page returned by a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof an arbitrary https site by letting a browser obtain a valid certificate from this site during one request, and then sending the browser a crafted 502 response page upon a subsequent request.
