| Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
An attacker could host a specially crafted website designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, or websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements, by adding specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action, typically by an enticement in an email or instant message, or by getting the user to open an attachment sent through email.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how Internet Explorer handles objects in memory. |
| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the IE rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability.

| A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the MSHTML engine improperly validates input.
An attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a HTML editing attack scenario, an attacker could trick a user into editing a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability.

| Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution Vulnerability |
| The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, when a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is enabled on a server but not on a client, does not properly convey a DHE_EXPORT choice, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cipher-downgrade attacks by rewriting a ClientHello with DHE replaced by DHE_EXPORT and then rewriting a ServerHello with DHE_EXPORT replaced by DHE, aka the "Logjam" issue. |
| Use-after-free vulnerability in the Peer Objects component (aka iepeers.dll) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving access to an invalid pointer after the deletion of an object, as exploited in the wild in March 2010, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability." |
| Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 on Windows 2000 SP4; Windows XP SP2 and SP3; Windows Server 2003 SP2; Windows Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2; Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2; and Windows 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing a pointer associated with a deleted object, related to incorrectly initialized memory and improper handling of objects in memory, as exploited in the wild in December 2009 and January 2010 during Operation Aurora, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability." |
| A certain ActiveX control in npUpload.dll in DivX Player 6.6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer 7 crash) via a long argument to the SetPassword method. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid src attribute value ("?") in an HTML frame tag that is in a frameset tag with a large rows attribute. NOTE: The provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information. |
| Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WebMail system in Stalker CommuniGate Pro 5.1.8 and earlier, when using Microsoft Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted STYLE tags. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing Internet Explorer to access an uninitialized or deleted object, related to prototype variables and table cells, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability." |
| 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. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 uses certain COM objects from (1) Msb1fren.dll, (2) Htmlmm.ocx, and (3) Blnmgrps.dll as ActiveX controls, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different issue than CVE-2006-4697. |
| Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Freetag before 2.96 plugin for S9Y Serendipity, when using Internet Explorer 6 or 7, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO to plugin/tag/. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 drops DNS pins based on failed connections to irrelevant TCP ports, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct DNS rebinding attacks, as demonstrated by a port 81 URL in an IMG SRC, when the DNS pin had been established for a session on port 80, a different issue than CVE-2006-4560. |
