Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allocates memory based on the memory size written in the BMP file instead of the actual BMP file size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a small BMP file with has a large memory size.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Internet Explorer to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.

mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a table containing a form that crosses multiple td elements, and whose "float: left" class is defined in a link to a CSS stylesheet after the end of the table, which may trigger a null dereference.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and other versions including 5.01 and 5.5, allows remote web servers to bypass zone restrictions and execute arbitrary code in the local computer zone by redirecting a function to another function with the same name, as demonstrated by SimilarMethodNameRedir, aka the "Similar Method Name Redirection Cross Domain Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Explorer on Windows XP SP1, WIndows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me may allow remote malicious servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long share names, as demonstrated using Samba.

The execCommand method in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 allows remote attackers to bypass the "File Download - Security Warning" dialog and save arbitrary files with arbitrary extensions via the SaveAs command.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2003 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), if "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is disabled, via a web site or HTML e-mail that contains two null characters (%00) after the host name.

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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 allows remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar and conduct a phishing attack via a web page that contains a BASE element that points to the legitimate site, followed by an anchor (a) element with an empty "href" attribute, and a FORM whose action points to a malicious URL, and an INPUT submit element that is modified to look like a legitimate URL.

CRLF injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary FTP commands via an ftp:// URL that contains a URL-encoded newline ("%0a") before the FTP command, which causes the commands to be inserted into the resulting FTP session, as demonstrated using a PORT command.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from memory consumption), as demonstrated using Javascript code that continuously creates nested arrays and then sorts the newly created arrays.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 does not properly handle certain character strings in the Path attribute, which can cause it to modify cookies in other domains when the attacker's domain name is within the target's domain name or when wildcard DNS is being used, which allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar to facilitate phishing attacks via Javascript that uses an invalid URI, modifies the Location field, then uses history.back to navigate to the previous domain, aka NullyFake.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2600 on Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a shell: URI with double backslashes (\\) in an HTML tag such as IFRAME or A.

The PerfectNav plugin for Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a malformed URL such as "?".

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to bypass cross-frame scripting restrictions and capture keyboard events from other domains via an HTML document with Javascript that is outside a frameset that includes the target domain, then forcing the frameset to maintain focus. NOTE: the discloser claimed that the vendor does not categorize this as a vulnerability, but it can be used in a spoofing scenario; the discloser provides alternate scenarios. Spoofing scenarios are currently included in CVE.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a link with "::{" (colon colon left brace), which triggers a null dereference when the user attempts to save the link using "Save As" and Internet Explorer prepares an error message with an attacker-controlled format string.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and crash) via an IFRAME with "?" as the file source.

Buffer overflow in the Content Advisor in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Content Advisor file, aka "Content Advisor Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Race condition in the memory management routines in the DHTML object processor in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious web page or HTML e-mail, aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
