Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In April 2004

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 MSN Messenger 6.0 and 6.1 does not properly handle certain requests, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

Argument injection vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook 2002 does not sufficiently filter parameters of mailto: URLs when using them as arguments when calling OUTLOOK.EXE, which allows remote attackers to use script code in the Local Machine zone and execute arbitrary programs.

Unknown vulnerability in Windows Media Station Service and Windows Media Monitor Service components of Windows Media Services 4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disallowing new connections) via a certain sequence of TCP/IP packets.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Internet Explorer to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.
