Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 6 and 6.99

Listening TCP ports are sequentially allocated, allowing spoofing attacks.

IIS newdsn.exe CGI script allows remote users to overwrite files.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Phone Dialer (dialer.exe), via a malformed dialer entry in the dialer.ini file.

Microsoft NetMeeting 2.1 allows one client to read the contents of another client's clipboard via a CTRL-C in the chat box when the box is empty.

Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 running WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of malformed packets, which causes the server to slow down and fill the event logs with error messages.

IIS does not properly canonicalize URLs, potentially allowing remote attackers to bypass access restrictions in third-party software via escape characters, aka the "Escape Character Parsing" vulnerability.

IIS 4.0 and 5.0 does not properly restrict access to certain types of files when their parent folders have less restrictive permissions, which could allow remote attackers to bypass access restrictions to some files, aka the "File Permission Canonicalization" vulnerability.

File and Print Sharing service in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me does not properly check the password for a file share, which allows remote attackers to bypass share access controls by sending a 1-byte password that matches the first character of the real password, aka the "Share Level Password" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in the parsing mechanism of the file loader in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read and modify user cookies via Javascript in an about: URL, aka the "First Cookie Handling Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to read and modify user cookies via Javascript, aka the "Second Cookie Handling Vulnerability."

Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 System Attendant gives "Everyone" group privileges to the WinReg key, which could allow remote attackers to read or modify registry keys.

The (1) CertGetCertificateChain, (2) CertVerifyCertificateChainPolicy, and (3) WinVerifyTrust APIs within the CryptoAPI for Microsoft products including Microsoft Windows 98 through XP, Office for Mac, Internet Explorer for Mac, and Outlook Express for Mac, do not properly verify the Basic Constraints of intermediate CA-signed X.509 certificates, which allows remote attackers to spoof the certificates of trusted sites via a man-in-the-middle attack for SSL sessions, as originally reported for Internet Explorer and IIS.

Internet Explorer 4.0 and later allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a web page that accesses a legacy XML Datasource applet (com.ms.xml.dso.XMLDSO.class) and modifies the base URL to point to the local system, which is trusted by the applet.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the administrative web pages for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 through 5.1 allow remote attackers to execute HTML script as other users through (1) a certain ASP file in the IISHELP virtual directory, or (2) possibly other unknown attack vectors.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to read and execute files on the local system via web pages using the <frame> or <iframe> element and javascript, aka "Frames Cross Site Scripting," as demonstrated using the PrivacyPolicy.dlg resource.

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to identify the path to the Temporary Internet Files folder and obtain user information such as cookies via certain uses of the OBJECT tag, which are not subjected to the proper security checks, aka "Temporary Internet Files folders Name Reading."

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read and modify the contents of the Clipboard via an applet that accesses the (1) ClipBoardGetText and (2) ClipBoardSetText methods of the INativeServices class.

Internet Explorer 6.0 does not warn users when an expired certificate authority (CA) certificate is submitted to the user and a newer CA certificate is in the user's local repository, which could allow remote attackers to decrypt web sessions via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and possibly others allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary file contents when users press a key corresponding to the JavaScript (1) event.ctrlKey or (2) event.shiftKey onkeydown event contained in a webpage. NOTE: it was reported that the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue.

NetDSL ADSL Modem 800 with Microsoft Network firmware 5.5.11 allows remote attackers to gain access to configuration menus by sniffing undocumented usernames and passwords from network traffic.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in ManualLogin.asp script for Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2001 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script via the REASONTXT parameter.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Help and Support Center for Microsoft Windows Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the Local Computer security context via an hcp:// URL with the malicious script in the topic parameter.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in the ASP function responsible for redirection in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 allows remote attackers to embed a URL containing script in a redirection message.

A certain Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control allows remote attackers to view and manipulate the Media Library on the local system via HTML script.
