Microsoft » Internet Explorer : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2007 (Denial of service)

Microsoft Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a certain JPG file, as demonstrated by something.jpg. NOTE: this issue might be related to CVE-2007-3958.

Microsoft Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a certain GIF file, as demonstrated by Art.gif.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 allows remote attackers to fill Zones with arbitrary domains using certain metacharacters such as wildcards via JavaScript, which results in a denial of service (website suppression and resource consumption), aka "Internet Explorer Zone Domain Specification Dos and Page Suppressing". NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party, who states that the zone settings cannot be manipulated

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser hang) via JavaScript that matches a regular expression against a long string, as demonstrated using /(.)*/.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 through Vista allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (persistent reboot) via a malformed ANI file, which results in memory corruption when processing cursors, animated cursors, and icons, a similar issue to CVE-2005-0416, as originally demonstrated using Internet Explorer 6 and 7. NOTE: this issue might be a duplicate of CVE-2007-0038; if so, then use CVE-2007-0038 instead of this identifier.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and application crash) via JavaScript onUnload handlers that modify the structure of a document.

Multiple ActiveX controls in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) by accessing the bgColor, fgColor, linkColor, alinkColor, vlinkColor, or defaultCharset properties in the (1) giffile, (2) htmlfile, (3) jpegfile, (4) mhtmlfile, (5) ODCfile, (6) pjpegfile, (7) pngfile, (8) xbmfile, (9) xmlfile, (10) xslfile, or (11) wdfile objects in (a) mshtml.dll; or the (12) TriEditDocument.TriEditDocument or (13) TriEditDocument.TriEditDocument.1 objects in (b) triedit.dll, which cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Race condition in the msxml3 module in Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, as used in Internet Explorer 6 and other applications, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via many nested tags in an XML document in an IFRAME, when synchronous document rendering is frequently disrupted with asynchronous events, as demonstrated using a JavaScript timer, which can trigger NULL pointer dereferences or memory corruption, aka "MSXML Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating a ADODB.Recordset object and making a series of calls to the NextRecordset method with a long string argument, which causes an "invalid memory access" in the SysFreeString function, a different issue than CVE-2006-3510 and CVE-2006-3899.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating an object inside an iframe, deleting the frame by setting its location.href to about:blank, then accessing a property of the object within the deleted frame, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: it was later reported that 7.0.6000.16473 and earlier are also affected.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an IFRAME with a certain XML file and XSL stylesheet that triggers a crash in mshtml.dll when a refresh is called, probably a null pointer dereference.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a table element with a CSS attribute that sets the position, which triggers an "unhandled exception" in mshtml.dll.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a frameset with only one frame that calls resizeTo with certain arguments. NOTE: this issue might be related to CVE-2006-3637.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a web page that contains a large number of nested marquee tags, a related issue to CVE-2006-2723.
