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.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain DHTML script functions, such as normalize, and "incorrectly created elements" that trigger memory corruption, aka "DHTML Script Function Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 does not properly handle uninitialized COM objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the Nth function in the DirectAnimation.DATuple ActiveX control, aka "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in the ART Image Rendering component (jgdw400.dll) in Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and Sp2, Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, and Windows 98 and Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ART image that causes heap corruption.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 SP1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by instantiating certain COM objects from Wmm2fxa.dll as ActiveX controls including (1) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input, (2) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect1Input.1, (3) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs, (4) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffect2Inputs.1, (5) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffectInplace1Input, and (6) DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MMSpecialEffectInplace1Input.1, which causes memory corruption during garbage collection.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via by instantiating the (1) Mdt2gddr.dll, (2) Mdt2dd.dll, and (3) Mdt2gddo.dll COM objects as ActiveX controls, which leads to memory corruption.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 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 intended for use within Internet Explorer, aka a variant of the "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2127.

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 does not properly validate buffers when handling certain DHTML methods including the createControlRange Javascript function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, aka the "DHTML Method Heap Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via drag and drop events, aka the "Drag-and-Drop Vulnerability."

Integer overflow in imgbmp.cxx for Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a BMP image with a large bfOffBits value.

The showHelp() function in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 supports certain types of pluggable protocols that allow remote attackers to bypass the cross-domain security model and execute arbitrary code, aka "Improper Cross Domain Security Validation with ShowHelp functionality."

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0 does not properly handle object tags returned from a Web server during XML data binding, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML e-mail message or web page.

Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1 does not properly determine object types that are returned by web servers, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an object tag with a data parameter to a malicious file hosted on a server that returns an unsafe Content-Type, aka the "Object Type" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in the BR549.DLL ActiveX control for Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Heap-based buffer overflow in plugin.ocx for Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the Load() method, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0115.

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP response containing long values in (1) Content-type and (2) Content-encoding fields.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Remote Data Services (RDS) component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 through 2.6, and Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0, allows remote attackers to execute code via a malformed HTTP request to the Data Stub.

Buffer overflow in gopher client for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1 through 6.0, Proxy Server 2.0, or ISA Server 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a gopher:// URL that redirects the user to a real or simulated gopher server that sends a long response.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed Content-Disposition and Content-Type header fields that cause the application for the spoofed file type to pass the file back to the operating system for handling rather than raise an error message, aka the first variant of the "Content Disposition" vulnerability.
