Sign extension vulnerability in the createBrushIndirect function in the GDI library (gdi32.dll) in Microsoft Windows XP, Server 2003, and possibly other versions, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted WMF file.

Argument injection vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to modify command line arguments to an invoked mail client via " (double quote) characters in a mailto: scheme handler, as demonstrated by launching Microsoft Outlook with an arbitrary filename as an attachment. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue is implementation-specific or a problem in the Microsoft API.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 does not properly handle uninitialized COM objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the Nth function in the DirectAnimation.DATuple ActiveX control, aka "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating a web page or HTML e-mail with a textarea in a div element whose scrollbar-base-color is modified by a CSS style, which is then moved.

The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) in Windows NT Server 4.0 SP 6a, NT Terminal Server 4.0 SP 6, Windows 2000 Server SP3 and SP4, and Windows Server 2003 does not properly validate the computer name value in a WINS packet, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (server crash), which results in an "unchecked buffer" and possibly triggers a buffer overflow, aka the "Name Validation Vulnerability."

Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) IMAP server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed IMAP request.

Microsoft Index Server allows remote attackers to view the source code of ASP files by appending a %20 to the filename in the CiWebHitsFile argument to the null.htw URL.

Microsoft SQL Server 7, 2000, and MSDE allows local users to gain privileges by hijacking a named pipe during the authentication of another user, aka the "Named Pipe Hijacking" vulnerability.

Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 and Microsoft ISA Server 2000 (which is included in Small Business Server 2000 and Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition) allows remote attackers to spoof trusted Internet content on a specially crafted webpage via spoofed reverse DNS lookup results.

Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to spoof the domain name of a URL in a titlebar for a script-initiated popup window, which could facilitate phishing attacks.

The change password option in the Windows Security interface for Windows 2000 allows attackers to use the option to attempt to change passwords of other users on other systems or identify valid accounts by monitoring error messages, possibly due to a problem in the NetuserChangePassword function.

A misconfiguration in IIS 5.0 with Index Server enabled and the Index property set allows remote attackers to list directories in the web root via a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) search.

Memory leak in the SNMP LAN Manager (LANMAN) MIB extension for Microsoft Windows 2000 before SP3, when the Print Spooler is not running, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of GET or GETNEXT requests.

Help and Support Center for Windows XP allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a link to the hcp: protocol that accesses uplddrvinfo.htm.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Help and Support Center for Microsoft Windows Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the Local Computer security context via an hcp:// URL with the malicious script in the topic parameter.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.

Teardrop IP denial of service.

Buffer overflow in a legacy ActiveX control used to display specially formatted text in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, aka "Buffer Overrun in Legacy Text Formatting ActiveX Control".

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset TCP connections) via spoofed ICMP error messages, aka the "blind connection-reset attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability.

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset TCP connections) via spoofed ICMP error messages, aka the "blind connection-reset attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.
