Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can conduct cross-domain scripting attacks. A remote user can determine the installation path.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser.
On IE 6 SP1 running on Windows 2000 SP4, a specially crafted HTML element can trigger arbitrary script execution in an arbitrary domain [CVE-2008-3472].
On IE 6 SP1 running on Windows 2000 SP4, a specially crafted HTML object event can trigger arbitrary script execution in an arbitrary domain [CVE-2008-3473].
Specially crafted HTML can trigger arbitrary script execution in an arbitrary domain [CVE-2008-3474]. The code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with an arbitrary site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Specially crafted HTML can cause the target user's browser to access an object that has not been initialized or has been deleted, resulting in arbitrary script execution [CVE-2008-3475].
Specially crafted HTML can trigger a memory corruption error, resulting in arbitrary script execution [CVE-2008-3476].
David Bloom, Gregory Rubin, Ivan Fratric via TippingPoint, Thierry Zoller of n.runs, and Lee Dagon of Composica reported these vulnerabilities.
