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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar and conduct a phishing attack via a web page with an anchor element with a legitimate "href" attribute, a form whose action points to a malicious URL, and an INPUT submit element that is modified to look like a legitimate URL. NOTE: this issue is very similar to CVE-2004-1104, although the manipulations are slightly different.

jscript.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a Shockwave Flash object that contains ActionScript code that calls VBScript, which in turn calls the Javascript document.write function, which triggers a null dereference.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to bypass the Kill bit settings for dangerous ActiveX controls via unknown vectors involving crafted HTML, which can expose the browser to attacks that would otherwise be prevented by the Kill bit setting. NOTE: CERT/CC claims that MS05-054 fixes this issue, but it is not described in MS05-054.

Race condition in Microsoft Internet Explorer allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly execute code by tricking a user into performing a drag-and-drop action from certain objects, such as file objects within a folder view, then predicting the drag action, and re-focusing to a malicious window.

Drivers for certain display adapters, including (1) an unspecified ATI driver and (2) an unspecified Intel driver, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large JPEG image, as demonstrated in Internet Explorer using stoopid.jpg with a width and height of 9999999.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a certain combination of a malformed HTML file and a CSS file that triggers a null dereference, probably related to rendering of a DIV element that contains a malformed IMG tag, as demonstrated by IEcrash.htm and IEcrash.rar.

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 attacks.
