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."

Windows Scripting Host in Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the GetObject Javascript function and the htmlfile ActiveX object.

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 "/.#./".
