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.

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to direct drag and drop behaviors and other mouse click actions to other windows by using method caching (SaveRef) to access the window.moveBy method, which is otherwise inaccessible, as demonstrated by HijackClickV2, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0823, aka the "Function Pointer Drag and Drop Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL with an International Domain Name (IDN) using double-byte character sets (DBCS), aka the "Double Byte Character Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 does not always return the correct IOleClientSite information when dynamically creating an embedded object, which could cause Internet Explorer to run the object in the wrong security context or zone, and allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

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.

The WebBrowser ActiveX control, or the Internet Explorer HTML rendering engine (MSHTML), as used in Internet Explorer 6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the Local Security context by using the showModalDialog method and modifying the location to execute code such as Javascript, as demonstrated using (1) delayed HTTP redirect operations, and an HTTP response with a Location: header containing a "URL:" prepended to a "ms-its" protocol URI, or (2) modifying the location attribute of the window, as exploited by the Download.ject (aka Scob aka Toofer) using the ADODB.Stream object.

Integer overflow in the Install Engine (inseng.dll) for Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious website or HTML email with a long .CAB file name, which triggers the integer overflow when calculating a buffer length and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions via a javascript protocol URL in a sub-frame, which is added to the history list and executed in the top window's zone when the history.back (back) function is called, as demonstrated by BackToFramedJpu, aka the "Travel Log Cross Domain Vulnerability."

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."

Multiple ActiveX controls in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) by accessing the bgColor, fgColor, linkColor, alinkColor, vlinkColor, or defaultCharset properties in the (1) giffile, (2) htmlfile, (3) jpegfile, (4) mhtmlfile, (5) ODCfile, (6) pjpegfile, (7) pngfile, (8) xbmfile, (9) xmlfile, (10) xslfile, or (11) wdfile objects in (a) mshtml.dll; or the (12) TriEditDocument.TriEditDocument or (13) TriEditDocument.TriEditDocument.1 objects in (b) triedit.dll, which cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 does not properly validate buffers when handling certain DHTML methods including the createControlRange Javascript function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, aka the "DHTML Method Heap Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via drag and drop events, aka the "Drag-and-Drop Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5, and Outlook Express 5.0 and 5.5, allow remote attackers to execute scripts when Active Scripting is disabled by including the scripts in XML stylesheets (XSL) that are referenced using an IFRAME tag, possibly due to a vulnerability in Windows Scripting Host (WSH).

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause the File Download dialogue box to misrepresent the name of the file in the dialogue in a way that could fool users into thinking that the file type is safe to download.

The rendering engine in Internet Explorer determines the MIME type independently of the type that is specified by the server, which allows remote servers to automatically execute script which is placed in a file whose MIME type does not normally support scripting, such as text (.txt), JPEG (.jpg), etc.

Internet Explorer 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying the Content-Disposition and Content-Type header fields in a way that causes Internet Explorer to believe that the file is safe to open without prompting the user, aka the "File Execution Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.5 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions via malformed URLs that contain dotless IP addresses, which causes Internet Explorer to process the page in the Intranet Zone, which may have fewer security restrictions, aka the "Zone Spoofing Vulnerability variant" of CVE-2001-0664.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 5.01 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions via malformed URLs that contain dotless IP addresses, which causes Internet Explorer to process the page in the Intranet Zone, which may have fewer security restrictions, aka the "Zone Spoofing vulnerability."

HTML e-mail feature in Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier allows attackers to execute attachments by setting an unusual MIME type for the attachment, which Internet Explorer does not process correctly.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain the physical location of cached content and open the content in the Local Computer Zone, then use compiled HTML help (.chm) files to execute arbitrary programs.

The showHelp() function in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 supports certain types of pluggable protocols that allow remote attackers to bypass the cross-domain security model and execute arbitrary code, aka "Improper Cross Domain Security Validation with ShowHelp functionality."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the cross-domain security model to run malicious script or arbitrary programs via dialog boxes, aka "Improper Cross Domain Security Validation with dialog box."

Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to display a URL in the address bar that is different than the URL that is actually being displayed, which could be used in web site spoofing attacks, aka the "Web page spoofing vulnerability."

Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to obtain information and possibly execute code when browsing from a web site to a web folder view using WebDAV, aka "Web Folder Behaviors Cross-Domain Vulnerability".

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 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 intended for use within Internet Explorer, aka a variant of the "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2127.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly check parameters that are passed during third party rendering, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script, aka the "Third Party Plugin Rendering" vulnerability, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0233.

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP response containing long values in (1) Content-type and (2) Content-encoding fields.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via / (slash) characters in the Type property of an Object tag in a web page.

Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a modified directory traversal attack using a URL containing ".." (dot dot) sequences and a filename that ends in "::" which is treated as a .chm file even if it does not have a .chm extension. NOTE: this bug may overlap CVE-2004-0475.

Buffer overflow in Internet Explorer 6 SP1 for certain languages that support double-byte encodings (e.g., Japanese) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the Type property of an Object tag, a variant of CVE-2003-0344.
