X for Mac allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PowerPoint document with a malformed record, which triggers memory corruption.

A system does not present an appropriate legal message or warning to a user who is accessing it.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using the document.getElementByID Javascript function to access crafted Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) elements, and possibly other unspecified vectors involving certain layout positioning combinations in an HTML file.

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL with an International Domain Name (IDN) using double-byte character sets (DBCS), aka the "Double Byte Character Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Unspecified vulnerability in Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted multicast message.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via by instantiating the (1) Mdt2gddr.dll, (2) Mdt2dd.dll, and (3) Mdt2gddo.dll COM objects as ActiveX controls, which leads to memory corruption.

Stack consumption vulnerability in Internet Explorer The JavaScript settimeout function in Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via the JavaScript settimeout function. NOTE: the vendor could not reproduce the problem.

Buffer overflow in Windows NT 4.0 help file utility via a malformed help file.

An interaction between Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) with RSA SecurID allows local users to bypass the SecurID authentication for a previous user via several submissions of an OWA Authentication request with the proper OWA password for the previous user, which is eventually accepted by OWA.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6, when using an HTTPS proxy server that requires Basic Authentication, sends URLs in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, aka "HTTPS Proxy Vulnerability."

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Publisher 2000 through 2003 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PUB file, which causes an overflow when parsing fonts.

Buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows local users to gain privileges by causing certain error messages to be passed to a debugger.

The scripting engine in Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page that contains a recurrent call to an infinite loop in Javascript or VBscript, which consumes the stack, as demonstrated by resetting the "location" variable within the loop.

Buffer overflow in various Microsoft applications for Macintosh allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code by invoking the file:// directive with a large number of / characters, which affects Internet Explorer 5.1, Outlook Express 5.0 through 5.0.2, Entourage v. X and 2001, PowerPoint v. X, 2001, and 98, and Excel v. X and 2001 for Macintosh.

The kernel for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 does not reset certain values in CPU data structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malicious program.

Windows NT 4.0 generates predictable random TCP initial sequence numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

Buffer overflow in War FTP allows remote execution of commands.

Buffer overflow in Multiple UNC Provider (MUP) in Microsoft Windows operating systems allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain SYSTEM privileges via a long UNC request.

Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions by (1) using the NavigateAndFind method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated by NAFfileJPU, (2) using the window.open method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated using WsOpenFileJPU, (3) setting the href property in the base tag for the _search window, as demonstrated using WsBASEjpu, (4) loading the search window into an Iframe, as demonstrated using WsFakeSrc, (5) ... Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions by (1) using the NavigateAndFind method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated by NAFfileJPU, (2) using the window.open method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated using WsOpenFileJPU, (3) setting the href property in the base tag for the _search window, as demonstrated using WsBASEjpu, (4) loading the search window into an Iframe, as demonstrated using WsFakeSrc, (5) caching a javascript: URL in the browser history, then accessing that URL in the same frame as the target domain, as demonstrated using WsOpenJpuInHistory, NAFjpuInHistory, BackMyParent, BackMyParent2, and RefBack, aka the "Script URLs Cross Domain" vulnerability.
