Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier does not properly verify the domain of a frame within a browser window, which allows remote web site operators to read certain files on the client by sending information from a local frame to a frame in a different domain using MSScriptControl.ScriptControl and GetObject, aka a variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier does not properly verify the domain of a frame within a browser window, which allows remote web site operators to read certain files on the client by sending information from a local frame to a frame in a different domain, aka a variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.

MSHTML.DLL HTML parser in Internet Explorer 4.0, and other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a script that creates and deletes an object that is associated with the browser window object.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and earlier executes Telnet sessions using command line arguments that are specified by the web site, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands if the IE client is using the Telnet client provided in Services for Unix (SFU) 2.0, which creates session transcripts.
