The rendering engine in Internet Explorer determines the MIME type independently of the type that is specified by the server, which allows remote servers to automatically execute script which is placed in a file whose MIME type does not normally support scripting, such as text (.txt), JPEG (.jpg), etc.

Microsoft Excel 97 and 2000 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands by specifying a malicious .dll using the Register.ID function, aka the "Excel REGISTER.ID Function" vulnerability.

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.

LANMAN service on Microsoft Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU/memory exhaustion) via a stream of malformed data to microsoft-ds port 445.

The password protection option for the Compressed Folders feature in Plus! for Windows 98 and Windows Me writes password information to a file, which allows local users to recover the passwords and read the compressed folders.

Unspecified vulnerability in mso.dll in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint file. NOTE: due to the lack of available details as of 20060717, it is unclear how this is related to CVE-2006-3656, CVE-2006-3660, and CVE-2006-3590, although it is possible that they are all different.

Buffer overflow in the authentication function for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 1433, aka the "Hello" overflow.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 SP1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by instantiating certain COM objects from Wmm2fxa.dll as ActiveX controls including (1) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input, (2) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input.1, (3) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs, (4) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs.1, (5) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect ... Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 SP1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by instantiating certain COM objects from Wmm2fxa.dll as ActiveX controls including (1) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input, (2) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input.1, (3) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs, (4) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs.1, (5) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffectInplace1Input, and (6) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffectInplace1Input.1, which causes memory corruption during garbage collection.

Microsoft ISA Server 2000 allows remote attackers to connect to services utilizing the NetBIOS protocol via a NetBIOS connection with an ISA Server that uses the NetBIOS (all) predefined packet filter.

WebSite Pro 3.1.11.0 on Windows allows remote attackers to read script source code for files with extensions greater than 3 characters via a URL request that uses the equivalent 8.3 file name.

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of fragmented UDP packets. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that it requires high bandwidth to exploit, and the server does not experience any instability. Therefore this "laws of physics" issue might not be included in CVE

The thread termination routine in the kernel for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 (NTOSKRNL.EXE) allows local users to modify kernel memory and execution flow via steps in which a terminating thread causes Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) entries to free the wrong data, aka the "Windows Kernel Vulnerability."

Windows NT crashes or locks up when a Samba client executes a "cd .." command on a file share.

The RPC DCOM interface in Windows 2000 SP3 and SP4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), and local attackers to use the DoS to hijack the epmapper pipe to gain privileges, via certain messages to the __RemoteGetClassObject interface that cause a NULL pointer to be passed to the PerformScmStage function.

Microsoft IIS 5.0 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header, which causes IIS to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."
