Buffer overflow in the IsComponentInstalled method in Internet Explorer 6.0, when used on Windows 2000 before SP4 or Windows XP before SP1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JavaScript that calls IsComponentInstalled with a long first argument.Show less

The default configuration of the DNS Server service on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000, and the Microsoft DNS Server service on Windows NT 4.0, allows recursive queries and provides additional delegation information to arbitrary IP addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via DNS queries with spoofed source IP addresses.Show less

The scripting engine in Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page that contains a recurrent call to an infinite loop in Javascript or VBscript, which consumes the stack, as demonstrated by resetting the "location" variable within the loop.Show less

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar and conduct a phishing attack via a web page with an anchor element with a legitimate "href" attribute, a form whose action points to a malicious URL, and an INPUT submit element that is modified to look like a legitimate URL. NOTE: this issue is very similar to CVE-2004-1104, although the manipulations are slightly different.Show less

Memory leak in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via JavaScript that uses setInterval to repeatedly call a function to set the value of window.status.Show less

Heap-based buffer overflow in the bitmap processing routine in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 on Windows 2000 SP4, Media Player 9 on Windows 2000 SP4 and XP SP1, and Media Player 10 on XP SP1 and SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted bitmap (.BMP) file that specifies a size of 0 but contains additional data.Show less

Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 in Office 2000 SP3 has an interaction with Internet Explorer that allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a PowerPoint presentation that attempts to access objects in the Temporary Internet Files Folder (TIFF).Show less

Buffer overflow in the Web Client service (WebClnt.dll) for Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1, allows remote authenticated users or Guests to execute arbitrary code via crafted RPC requests, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1207.Show less

The ShellAbout API call in Korean Input Method Editor (IME) in Korean versions of Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2003 up to SP1, and Office 2003, allows local users to gain privileges by launching the "shell about dialog box" and clicking the "End-User License Agreement" link, which executes Notepad with the privileges of the program that displays the about box.Show less

Buffer overflow in the plug-in for Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 9 and 10, when used in browsers other than Internet Explorer and set as the default application to handle media files, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTML with an EMBED element containing a long src attribute.Show less

Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2 before August 2004, and possibly other operating systems and versions, uses insecure default ACLs that allow the Authenticated Users group to gain privileges by modifying critical configuration information for the (1) Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP), (2) Universal Plug and Play Device Host (UPnP), (3) NetBT, (4) SCardSvr, (5) DHCP, and (6) DnsCache services, aka "Permissive Windows Services DACLs." NOTE: the NetBT, SCardSvr, DHCP, DnsCache already require privileged access to exploit.Show less

jscript.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a Shockwave Flash object that contains ActionScript code that calls VBScript, which in turn calls the Javascript document.write function, which triggers a null dereference.Show less

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft HTML Help Workshop 4.74.8702.0, and possibly earlier versions, and as included in the Microsoft HTML Help 1.4 SDK, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .hhp file with a long Contents file field.Show less

urlmon.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 beta 2 (aka 7.0.5296.0) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a BGSOUND element with its SRC attribute set to "file://" followed by a large number of "-" (dash of hyphen) characters.Show less

The VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) emulation environment for MS-DOS applications in Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to read the first megabyte of memory and possibly obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by dumper.asm.Show less

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to bypass the Kill bit settings for dangerous ActiveX controls via unknown vectors involving crafted HTML, which can expose the browser to attacks that would otherwise be prevented by the Kill bit setting. NOTE: CERT/CC claims that MS05-054 fixes this issue, but it is not described in MS05-054.Show less

The 802.11 wireless client in certain operating systems including Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 does not warn the user when (1) it establishes an association with a station in ad hoc (aka peer-to-peer) mode or (2) a station in ad hoc mode establishes an association with it, which allows remote attackers to put unexpected wireless communication into place.Show less

The "Remember my Password" feature in MSN Messenger 7.5 stores passwords in an encrypted format under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Creds registry key, which might allow local users to obtain the original passwords via a program that calls CryptUnprotectData, as demonstrated by the "MSN Password Recovery.exe" program. NOTE: it could be argued that local-only password recovery is inherently insecure because the decryption methods and keys must be stored somewhere on the local system, and are thus inherently accessible with varying degrees of effort. Perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.Show less
