Provides an overview and solutions to this vulnerability which, theoretically, affects all applications utilizing the Internet Explorer HTML rendering engine.

Detailed explanation and workaround of these vulnerabilities affecting I.E 5.5 and 6.

"Microsoft is urging users of its Internet Explorer browser to download a patch for a newly discovered buffer-overflow security bug. The bug takes advantage of the way some versions of the IE browser handle long strings of JScript code."

Advisory by GreyMagic Security explains how a vulnerability in elements can be exploited with data binding.

Explains how the "ANALYZE.DLG" resource can be manipulated to allow the execution of arbitrary code in the My Computer" zone.

"Since Microsoft Internet Explorer ("IE") version 5.0, there has been a way to read and set the users clipboard text from script, by default, and with no prompting. This can be handy for web-based applications to do so, but can be used in a malicious way to steal the clipboard contents if the option is not changed."

Advisory by USSR: "It is possible to create a malicious webpage that when visited by an IE user all of their system resources are devoured and depending on the system its possible that the machine can even crash and reboot itself."

Information on Internet and web browser security as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer security features and flaws.

A fairly serious flaw in Internet Explorer which would enable a malicious Web page or e-mail to drop a cookie containing an HTML script on a victim's machine and run it in the 'Local Computer' zone rather than the Internet zone to avoid restrictions has just been patched.

An attacker can run arbitrary commands on Windows machines with a simple bit of HTML, an Israeli security researcher has demonstrated. The exploit will work with IE, Outlook and Outlook Express even if active scripting and ActiveX are disabled in the browser security settings.

The MS patch intended to fix a data binding flaw in IE, which enables a script to call executables on your Windows machine using the object tag, does not protect against malicious files launched from a local directory.

Includes: MSXML may ignore IE security zone settings during a request for data from a Web site; and a VBscript problem which allows an attacker to read files on a victim's local drive, or eavesdrop on his browsing session.

Describes a security hole which can be exploited to change users' search sites or to serve up offensive ads.

An attacker can gain control of another user's machine using an HTML-formatted e-mail with an attachment that contains a small remote-control program. The e-mail can be sent directly to the victim, or can be placed on a website.

A hacker who discovered a potentially devastating security hole in Microsoft's Internet Explorer says he has found himself in the undesired position of providing technical support to people who cannot install the patch that Microsoft released to fix the flaw.
