Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to direct drag and drop behaviors and other mouse click actions to other windows by using method caching (SaveRef) to access the window.moveBy method, which is otherwise inaccessible, as demonstrated by HijackClickV2, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0823, aka the "Function Pointer Drag and Drop Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions via a javascript protocol URL in a sub-frame, which is added to the history list and executed in the top window's zone when the history.back (back) function is called, as demonstrated by BackToFramedJpu, aka the "Travel Log Cross Domain Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to spoof the domain of a URL via a "%01" character before an @ sign in the user@domain portion of the URL, which hides the rest of the URL, including the real site, in the address bar, aka the "Improper URL Canonicalization Vulnerability."

Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Outlook Web Access (OWA), when configured to use NTLM authentication, does not properly reuse HTTP connections, which can cause OWA users to view mailboxes of other users when Kerberos has been disabled as an authentication method for IIS 6.0, e.g. when SharePoint Services 2.0 is installed.
