Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar to facilitate phishing attacks via Javascript that uses an invalid URI, modifies the Location field, then uses history.back to navigate to the previous domain, aka NullyFake.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service via an infinite loop for modeless dialogs showModelessDialog, which causes CPU usage while the focus for the dialog is not released.

A Microsoft ActiveX control allows a remote attacker to execute a malicious cabinet file via an attachment and an embedded script in an HTML mail, aka the "Active Setup Control" vulnerability.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.1 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via the VBScript LoadPicture method, which returns an error code if the file does not exist.

msxml3.dll in Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a single & (ampersand) in a <Ref href> link, which triggers a parsing error, possibly due to missing portions of the URI.

The zone determination function in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to run scripts in the Local Computer zone by embedding the script in a cookie, aka the "Cookie-based Script Execution" vulnerability.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allocates memory based on the memory size written in the BMP file instead of the actual BMP file size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a small BMP file with has a large memory size.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 does not properly handle certain character strings in the Path attribute, which can cause it to modify cookies in other domains when the attacker's domain name is within the target's domain name or when wildcard DNS is being used, which allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 treats objects invoked on an HTML page with the codebase property as part of Local Computer zone, which allows remote attackers to invoke executables present on the local system through objects such as the popup object, aka the "Local Executable Invocation via Object tag" vulnerability.

Internet Explorer 5.01 allows remote attackers to bypass the cross frame security policy via a malicious applet that interacts with the Java JSObject to modify the DOM properties to set the IFRAME to an arbitrary Javascript URL.

The Preloader ActiveX control used by Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

pnxr3260.dll in the RealOne 2.0 build 6.0.11.868 browser plugin, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted embed tag.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote malicious FTP servers to overwrite arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences in filenames returned from a LIST command.

XMLHTTP control in Microsoft XML Core Services 2.6 and later does not properly handle IE Security Zone settings, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying a local file as an XML Data Source.

The execCommand method in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 allows remote attackers to bypass the "File Download - Security Warning" dialog and save arbitrary files with arbitrary extensions via the SaveAs command.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from memory consumption), as demonstrated using Javascript code that continuously creates nested arrays and then sorts the newly created arrays.

Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier does not properly handle VBScript in certain domain security checks, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

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.

Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to bypass the popup blocker via the document object model (DOM) methods in the DHTML Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Editing Component (DEC) and Javascript that calls showModalDialog.

CRLF injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary FTP commands via an ftp:// URL that contains a URL-encoded newline ("%0a") before the FTP command, which causes the commands to be inserted into the resulting FTP session, as demonstrated using a PORT command.
