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 attac ...

Internet Explorer 5, 5.6, and 6 allows remote attackers to bypass cookie privacy settings and store information across browser sessions via the userData (storeuserData) feature.

The Web Folder component for Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 writes an error message to a known location in the temporary folder, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting it into the error message, then referring to the error message file via a mhtml: URL.

The browser history feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script as other users and steal authentication information via cookies by injecting JavaScript into the URL, which is executed when the user hits the Back button.

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP response containing long values in (1) Content-type and (2) Content-encoding fields.

Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x allows remote web servers to access files on the client that are outside of its security domain, aka the "Image Source Redirect" vulnerability.

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.

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.

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".

Buffer overflow in Internet Explorer 5 allows remote attackers to execute commands via a malformed Favorites icon.

Internet Explorer 4.x or 5.x with Word 97 allows arbitrary execution of Visual Basic programs to the IE client through the Word 97 template, which doesn't warn the user that the template contains executable content. Also applies to Outlook when the client views a malicious email message.

Buffer overflow in the ART Image Rendering component (jgdw400.dll) in Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and Sp2, Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, and Windows 98 and Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ART image that causes heap corruption.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allocates memory based on the memory size written in the BMP file instead of the actual BMP file size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a small BMP file with has a large memory size.
