Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTML elements with a certain crafted tag, which leads to memory corruption.

Drivers for certain display adapters, including (1) an unspecified ATI driver and (2) an unspecified Intel driver, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large JPEG image, as demonstrated in Internet Explorer using stoopid.jpg with a width and height of 9999999.

Internet Explorer 6.0, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin security policy and make requests outside of the intended domain by calling open on an XMLHttpRequest object (Microsoft.XMLHTTP) and using tab, newline, and carriage return characters within the first argument (method name), which is supported by some proxy servers that convert tabs to spaces. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to conduct referer spoofing, HTTP Request Smuggling, and other attacks.

The CLSID_ApprenticeICW control allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) by creating a COM object of the class associated with the control's CLSID, which is not intended for use within Internet Explorer.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 6.0.2900.2180 and 6.0.2800.1106, and earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a Javascript BODY onload event that calls the window function, aka "Mismatched Document Object Model Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and application crash) via two embedded files that call each other.

pnxr3260.dll in the RealOne 2.0 build 6.0.11.868 browser plugin, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted embed tag.

Hastymail 1.0.1 and earlier (stable) and 1.1 and earlier (development) does not send the "attachment" parameter in the Content-Disposition field for attachments, which causes the attachment to be rendered inline by Internet Explorer when the victim clicks the download link, which facilitates cross-site scripting (XSS) and possibly other attacks.

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.

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."

The Windows Shell application in Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by spoofing the type of a file via a CLSID specifier in the filename, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP.

Internet Explorer 6.0 does not warn users when an expired certificate authority (CA) certificate is submitted to the user and a newer CA certificate is in the user's local repository, which could allow remote attackers to decrypt web sessions via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
