CVSS v3.1 |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by calling the stringToBinary function of the CEnroll.CEnroll.2 ActiveX object with a long second argument, which triggers an invalid memory access inside the SysAllocStringLen function. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a crafted FTP URL such as "/.#./". |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by calling the Click method of the Internet.HHCtrl.1 ActiveX object before initializing the URL, which triggers a null dereference. |
| Stack overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by creating an NMSA.ASFSourceMediaDescription.1 ActiveX object with a long dispValue property. |
| Internet Explorer 4.01 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by pasting a file name into the file upload control, aka untrusted scripted paste. |
| 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. |
| Internet Explorer 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via HTML code that contains a long CLASSID parameter in an OBJECT tag. |
| A configuration in a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator allows execution of active content such as ActiveX, Java, Javascript, etc. |
| Internet Explorer 6 and earlier allows remote attackers to create chromeless windows using the Javascript window.createPopup method, which could allow attackers to simulate a victim's display and conduct unauthorized activities or steal sensitive data via social engineering. |
| Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read certain files and spoof the URL in the address bar by using the Document.open function to pass information between two frames from different domains, a new variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability described in MS:MS01-058/CAN-2001-0874. |
| Integer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a 0x7fffffff argument to the setSlice method on a WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX object, which leads to an invalid memory copy. |
| Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1 does not properly determine object types that are returned by web servers, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an object tag with a data parameter to a malicious file hosted on a server that returns an unsafe Content-Type, aka the "Object Type" vulnerability. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by setting the location or URL property of a MHTMLFile ActiveX object. |
| A Microsoft ActiveX control allows a remote attacker to execute a malicious cabinet file via an attachment and an embedded script in an HTML mail, aka the "Active Setup Control" vulnerability. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the Vector Graphics Rendering engine (vgx.dll), as used in Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Vector Markup Language (VML) file with a long fill parameter within a rect tag. |
| XMLHTTP control in Microsoft XML Core Services 2.6 and later does not properly handle IE Security Zone settings, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying a local file as an XML Data Source. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Internet Explorer allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. |
| <p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.</p>
<p>An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft browsers, and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, or websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements, by adding specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically via an enticement in email or instant message, or by getting them to open an email attachment.</p>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Microsoft browsers handle objects in memory.</p> |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the IE rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability.
