Internet Explorer 5.x does not warn a user before opening a Microsoft Access database file that is referenced within ActiveX OBJECT tags in an HTML document, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands, aka the "IE Script" vulnerability.
The IFRAME of the WebBrowser control in Internet Explorer 5.01 allows a remote attacker to violate the cross frame security policy via the NavigateComplete2 event.
Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x does not properly verify all contents of an SSL certificate if a connection is made to the server via an image or a frame, aka one of two different "SSL Certificate Validation" vulnerabilities.
Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x does not properly re-validate an SSL certificate if the user establishes a new SSL session with the same server during the same Internet Explorer session, aka one of two different "SSL Certificate Validation" vulnerabilities.
Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a buffer overflow in the ActiveX parameter parsing capability, aka the "Malformed Component Attribute" vulnerability.
Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x does not properly verify the domain of a frame within a browser window, which allows a remote attacker to read client files via the frame, aka the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.
