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 6.0.2900.2180 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a long Unicode string argument to the write method, a related issue to CVE-2009-2479. NOTE: it was later reported that 7.0.6000.16473 and earlier are also affected.
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.
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.
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.
Unspecified vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) strings that trigger memory corruption during parsing, related to use of out-of-bounds pointers.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 allows certain script to persist across navigations between pages, which allows remote attackers to obtain the window location of visited web pages in other domains or zones, aka "Window Location Information Disclosure Vulnerability."
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 permits access to local "HTML-embedded resource files" in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) library, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands, aka "MMC Redirect Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 does not always correctly identify the domain that is associated with a browser window, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cross-domain information and spoof sites by running script after the user has navigated to another site.
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.
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.
Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web site or an HTML e-mail containing a crafted JPEG image that causes memory corruption, aka "JPEG Image Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page with embedded CLSIDs that reference certain COM objects that are not ActiveX controls, including (1) devenum.dll, (2) diactfrm.dll, (3) wmm2filt.dll, (4) fsusd.dll, (5) dmdskmgr.dll, (6) browsewm.dll, (7) browseui.dll, (8) shell32.dll, (9) mshtml.dll, (10) inetcfg.dll, (11) infosoft.dll, (12) query.dll, (13) syncui.dll, (14) clbcatex.dll, (15) clbcatq.dll, (16) comsvcs.dll, and (17) msconf.dll, which causes memory corruption, aka "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2087.
Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 does not properly validate certain URLs in Channel Definition Format (CDF) files, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code, aka the "Channel Definition Format (CDF) Cross Domain Vulnerability."
Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to spoof a less restrictive security zone and execute arbitrary code via an HTML page containing URLs that contain hostnames that have been double hex encoded, which are decoded twice to generate a malicious hostname, aka the "URL Decoding Zone Spoofing Vulnerability."
Directory traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote malicious FTP servers to overwrite arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences in filenames returned from a LIST command.
Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 does not properly cache SSL content, which allows remote attackers to obtain information or spoof content via a web site with the same host name as the target web site, whose content is cached and reused when the user visits the target web site.
The Custom HTTP Errors capability in Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in the Local Zone via an argument to shdocvw.dll that causes a "javascript:" link to be generated.
Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to steal potentially sensitive information from cookies via a cookie that contains script which is executed when a page is loaded, aka the "Script within Cookies Reading Cookies" vulnerability.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.01, and 5.5 allows remote attackers to monitor the contents of the clipboard via the getData method of the clipboardData object.
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.
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.
Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly handle the Content-Type HTML header field, which allows remote attackers to modify which application is used to process a document.
Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via malformed requests to the GetObject function, which bypass some of GetObject's security checks.
Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier does not properly handle VBScript in certain domain security checks, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.
Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier does not properly validate digital certificates when Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checking is enabled, which could allow remote attackers to spoof trusted web sites, aka the "Server certificate validation vulnerability."
Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier does not properly verify the domain of a frame within a browser window, which allows remote web site operators to read certain files on the client by sending information from a local frame to a frame in a different domain, aka a variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.
