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

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 10 allows local users to bypass the elevation policy check in the (1) Protected Mode or (2) Enhanced Protected Mode protection mechanism, and consequently gain privileges, by leveraging the ability to execute sandboxed code.

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.

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.

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.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a UTF-7 encoded URL that is returned in a large HTTP 404 error message without an explicit charset, a related issue to CVE-2006-0032.

Unspecified vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) strings that trigger memory corruption during parsing, related to use of out-of-bounds pointers.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 allows remote attackers to prevent users from leaving a site, spoof the address bar, and conduct phishing and other attacks via onUnload Javascript handlers.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving memory corruption from an unhandled error.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via uninitialized or deleted objects used in repeated calls to the (1) cloneNode or (2) nodeValue JavaScript function, a different issue than CVE-2007-3902 and CVE-2007-5344, a variant of "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Multiple argument injection vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 and 3.0alpha allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a NULL byte (%00) and shell metacharacters in a (1) mailto, (2) nntp, (3) news, (4) snews, or (5) telnet URI, a similar issue to CVE-2007-3670.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted website using Javascript that creates, modifies, deletes, and accesses document objects using the tags property, which triggers heap corruption, related to uninitialized or deleted objects, a different issue than CVE-2007-3902 and CVE-2007-3903, and a variant of "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "unexpected method calls to HTML objects," aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Argument injection vulnerability in XChat 2.8.7b and earlier on Windows, when Internet Explorer is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the --command parameter in an ircs:// URI.

Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6, and 7 allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains via JavaScript that uses the Object data type for the value of a (1) location or (2) location.href property, related to incorrect determination of the origin of web script, aka "Window Location Property Cross-Domain Vulnerability." NOTE: according to Microsoft, CVE-2008-2948 and CVE-2008-2949 are duplicates of this issue, probably different attack vectors.

Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and 8 allows remote attackers to change the location property of a frame via the Object data type, and use a frame from a different domain to observe domain-independent events, as demonstrated by observing onkeydown events with caballero-listener. NOTE: according to Microsoft, this is a duplicate of CVE-2008-2947, possibly a different attack vector.

Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to change the location property of a frame via the String data type, and use a frame from a different domain to observe domain-independent events, as demonstrated by observing onkeydown events with caballero-listener. NOTE: according to Microsoft, this is a duplicate of CVE-2008-2947, possibly a different attack vector.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows web sites to set cookies for domains that have a public suffix with more than one dot character, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session, aka "Cross-Site Cooking." NOTE: this issue may exist because of an insufficient fix for CVE-2004-0866.

Argument injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 on Windows XP SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the --renderer-path option in a chromehtml: URI.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, and possibly other versions, detects http content in https web pages only when the top-level frame uses https, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script, in an https site's context, by modifying an http page to include an https iframe that references a script file on an http site, related to "HTTP-Intended-but-HTTPS-Loadable (HPIHSL) pages."

SChannel in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 does not ensure that a server's X.509 certificate is the same during renegotiation as it was before renegotiation, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information or modify TLS session data via a "triple handshake attack," aka "TLS Server Certificate Renegotiation Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script with increased privileges via unspecified vectors, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-2777.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," as exploited in the wild in October 2014, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4124.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4123.
