CVSS v3.1 |
| Certain versions of Internet Explorer 5 and 6, in certain Windows environments, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (freeze) via a URL to C:\aux (MS-DOS device name) and possibly other devices. |
| Internet Explorer 4 allows remote attackers (malicious web site operators) to read the contents of the clipboard via the Internet WebBrowser ActiveX object. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute HTA files via unknown vectors. |
| Integer overflow in the Install Engine (inseng.dll) for Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious website or HTML email with a long .CAB file name, which triggers the integer overflow when calculating a buffer length and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. |
| Internet Explorer 3 records a history of all URL's that are visited by a user in DAT files located in the Temporary Internet Files and History folders, which are not cleared when the user selects the "Clear History" option, and are not visible when the user browses the folders because of tailored displays. |
| When a Web site redirects the browser to another site, Internet Explorer 3.02 and 4.0 automatically resends authentication information to the second site, aka the "Page Redirect Issue." |
| The window.showHelp() method in Internet Explorer 5.x does not restrict HTML help files (.chm) to be executed from the local host, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via Microsoft Networking. |
| Microsoft HTML control as used in (1) Internet Explorer 5.0, (2) FrontPage Express, (3) Outlook Express 5, and (4) Eudora, and possibly others, allows remote malicious web site or HTML emails to cause a denial of service (100% CPU consumption) via large HTML form fields such as text inputs in a table cell. |
| Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files on the client via an IMG tag with a dynsrc property that references the target file, which sets certain elements of the image object such as file size. |
| Internet Explorer 4.0 and 5.0 allows a malicious web site to obtain client cookies from another domain by including that domain name and escaped characters in a URL, aka the "Unauthorized Cookie Access" vulnerability. |
| Buffer overflow in the URL processor of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a URL with a long hostname, aka "URL Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability." |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 does not clearly associate a Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability." |
| Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via Javascript in a web page that calls location.replace on itself, causing a loop. |
| Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser or Outlook Express crash) via HTML with certain input tags that are not properly rendered. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a "text/html" HTML Content-type header sent in response to an XMLHttpRequest (AJAX). |
| The legacy <script> data-island capability for XML in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary XML files, and portions of other files, via a URL whose "src" attribute redirects to a local file. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Internet Explorer allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. |
| <p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.</p>
<p>An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft browsers, and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, or websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements, by adding specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically via an enticement in email or instant message, or by getting them to open an email attachment.</p>
<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Microsoft browsers handle objects in memory.</p> |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the IE rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability.
