Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and earlier, and Windows Mail for Vista, allows remote Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) servers to execute arbitrary code via long NNTP responses that trigger memory corruption.

Unknown versions of Internet Explorer and Outlook allow remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar via A HREF tags with modified "alt" values that point to the legitimate site, combined with an image map whose href points to the malicious site, which facilitates a "phishing" attack.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long <A HREF> link.

Buffer overflow in various Microsoft applications for Macintosh allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code by invoking the file:// directive with a large number of / characters, which affects Internet Explorer 5.1, Outlook Express 5.0 through 5.0.2, Entourage v. X and 2001, PowerPoint v. X, 2001, and 98, and Excel v. X and 2001 for Macintosh.

Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5, and Outlook Express 5.0 and 5.5, allow remote attackers to execute scripts when Active Scripting is disabled by including the scripts in XML stylesheets (XSL) that are referenced using an IFRAME tag, possibly due to a vulnerability in Windows Scripting Host (WSH).

Microsoft Outlook 8.5 and earlier, and Outlook Express 5 and earlier, with the "Automatically put people I reply to in my address book" option enabled, do not notify the user when the "Reply-To" address is different than the "From" address, which could allow an untrusted remote attacker to spoof legitimate addresses and intercept email from the client that is intended for another user.

Buffer overflow in Outlook Express 5.0 through 5.02 for Macintosh allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message that contains a long line.

Buffer overflow in VCard handler in Outlook 2000 and 98, and Outlook Express 5.x, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed vCard birthday field.

Microsoft Outlook Express allows remote attackers to monitor a user's email by creating a persistent browser link to the Outlook Express windows, aka the "Persistent Mail-Browser Link" vulnerability.

Microsoft Outlook 98 and 2000, and Outlook Express 4.0x and 5.0x, allow remote attackers to read files on the client's system via a malformed HTML message that stores files outside of the cache, aka the "Cache Bypass" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long Date field in an email header, aka the "Malformed E-mail Header" vulnerability.

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.

Outlook Express 5.01 and Internet Explorer 5.01 allow remote attackers to view a user's email messages via a script that accesses a variable that references subsequent email messages that are read by the client.

Outlook Express 5 for Macintosh downloads attachments to HTML mail without prompting the user, aka the "HTML Mail Attachment" vulnerability.

Microsoft HTML control as used in (1) Internet Explorer 5.0, (2) FrontPage Express, (3) Outlook Express 5, and (4) Eudora, and possibly others, allows remote malicious web site or HTML emails to cause a denial of service (100% CPU consumption) via large HTML form fields such as text inputs in a table cell.
