Microsoft » Internet Explorer » 5.01 sp4 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005 (Code Execution)

Race condition in Microsoft Internet Explorer allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly execute code by tricking a user into performing a drag-and-drop action from certain objects, such as file objects within a folder view, then predicting the drag action, and re-focusing to a malicious window.

Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 up to 6 on various Windows operating systems, including IE 6.0.2900.2180 on Windows XP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page with embedded CLSIDs that reference certain COM objects that are not ActiveX controls, as demonstrated using the JVIEW Profiler (Javaprxy.dll). NOTE: the researcher says that the vendor could not reproduce this problem.

Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page with embedded CLSIDs that reference certain COM objects that are not ActiveX controls, including (1) devenum.dll, (2) diactfrm.dll, (3) wmm2filt.dll, (4) fsusd.dll, (5) dmdskmgr.dll, (6) browsewm.dll, (7) browseui.dll, (8) shell32.dll, (9) mshtml.dll, (10) inetcfg.dll, (11) infosoft.dll, (12) query.dll, (13) syncui.dll, (14) clbcatex.dll, (15) clbcatq.dll, (16) comsvcs.dll, and (17) msconf.dll, which causes memory corruption, aka "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2087.

Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to obtain information and possibly execute code when browsing from a web site to a web folder view using WebDAV, aka "Web Folder Behaviors Cross-Domain Vulnerability".

Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web site or an HTML e-mail containing a crafted JPEG image that causes memory corruption, aka "JPEG Image Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability".

Buffer overflow in the Content Advisor in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Content Advisor file, aka "Content Advisor Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in the URL processor of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a URL with a long hostname, aka "URL Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Race condition in the memory management routines in the DHTML object processor in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious web page or HTML e-mail, aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability".

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 does not properly validate certain URLs in Channel Definition Format (CDF) files, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code, aka the "Channel Definition Format (CDF) Cross Domain Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to spoof a less restrictive security zone and execute arbitrary code via an HTML page containing URLs that contain hostnames that have been double hex encoded, which are decoded twice to generate a malicious hostname, aka the "URL Decoding Zone Spoofing Vulnerability."

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.
