CVSS v3.1 |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the Hrtbeat.ocx (Heartbeat) ActiveX control for Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6, when users who visit online gaming sites that are associated with MSN, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SetupData parameter. |
| Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier does not properly validate digital certificates when Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checking is enabled, which could allow remote attackers to spoof trusted web sites, aka the "Server certificate validation vulnerability." |
| Internet Explorer 5.0 through 5.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the client via the INPUT TYPE element in an HTML form, aka the "File Upload via Form" vulnerability. |
| Internet Explorer 5.5 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions via malformed URLs that contain dotless IP addresses, which causes Internet Explorer to process the page in the Intranet Zone, which may have fewer security restrictions, aka the "Zone Spoofing Vulnerability variant" of CVE-2001-0664. |
| Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read certain files and spoof the URL in the address bar by using the Document.open function to pass information between two frames from different domains, a new variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability described in MS:MS01-058/CAN-2001-0874. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed Content-Disposition and Content-Type header fields that cause the application for the spoofed file type to pass the file back to the operating system for handling rather than raise an error message, aka the second variant of the "Content Disposition" vulnerability. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a crafted FTP URL such as "/.#./". |
| Internet Explorer 4.01 allows remote attackers to read local files and spoof web pages via a "%01" character in an "about:" Javascript URL, which causes Internet Explorer to use the domain specified after the character. |
| Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01 allow a remote attacker to read files via IE's cross frame security, aka the "Cross Frame Navigate" vulnerability. |
| Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to read and execute files on the local system via web pages using the <frame> or <iframe> element and javascript, aka "Frames Cross Site Scripting," as demonstrated using the PrivacyPolicy.dlg resource. |
| 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. |
| The Microsoft Active Setup ActiveX component in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x allows a remote attacker to install software components without prompting the user by stating that the software's manufacturer is Microsoft. |
| 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. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly check parameters that are passed during third party rendering, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script, aka the "Third Party Plugin Rendering" vulnerability, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0233. |
| mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a table containing a form that crosses multiple td elements, and whose "float: left" class is defined in a link to a CSS stylesheet after the end of the table, which may trigger a null dereference. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.22, and other 5 through 6 SP1 versions, sends Referer headers containing https:// URLs in requests for http:// URLs, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading Referer log data. |
| 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> |

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.
