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.
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.
The CLSID_ApprenticeICW control allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) by creating a COM object of the class associated with the control's CLSID, which is not intended for use within Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 up to 6 on various Windows operating systems, including IE 6.0.2900.2180 on Windows XP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page with embedded CLSIDs that reference certain COM objects that are not ActiveX controls, as demonstrated using the JVIEW Profiler (Javaprxy.dll). NOTE: the researcher says that the vendor could not reproduce this problem.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and application crash) via two embedded files that call each other.
Hastymail 1.0.1 and earlier (stable) and 1.1 and earlier (development) does not send the "attachment" parameter in the Content-Disposition field for attachments, which causes the attachment to be rendered inline by Internet Explorer when the victim clicks the download link, which facilitates cross-site scripting (XSS) and possibly other attacks.
The WebBrowser ActiveX control, or the Internet Explorer HTML rendering engine (MSHTML), as used in Internet Explorer 6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the Local Security context by using the showModalDialog method and modifying the location to execute code such as Javascript, as demonstrated using (1) delayed HTTP redirect operations, and an HTTP response with a Location: header containing a "URL:" prepended to a "ms-its" protocol URI, or (2) modifying the location attribute of the window, as exploited by the Download.ject (aka Scob aka Toofer) using the ADODB.Stream object.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script via an Extended HTML Form, whose output from the remote server is not properly cleansed.
Internet Explorer 6 and earlier, when used with the Telnet client in Services for Unix (SFU) 2.0, allows remote attackers to execute commands by spawning Telnet with a log file option on the command line and writing arbitrary code into an executable file which is later executed, aka a new variant of the Telnet Invocation vulnerability as described in CVE-2001-0150.
Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain the physical location of cached content and open the content in the Local Computer Zone, then use compiled HTML help (.chm) files to execute arbitrary programs.
