Multiple Vulnerabilities in MS IE 6.0 SP2
Recently, I discovered three vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6 SP2 with all patches applied. All of these bugs are located
in `mshtml.dll' and are caused by incorrect handling of specially
crafted HTML documents. The severity of the first security issue
(<mshtml.dll>#7d6d2db4) is low because it is a non-exploitable Null
Pointer Dereference vulnerability and leads to DoS. The second
(<mshtml.dll>#7d519030) and third (<mshtml.dll>#7d529d35) vulnerability
are similar and the Microsoft Security Response Center rated them as
critical because, on the face of it, they could produce an exploitable
memory corruption (see HTML Tag Memory Corruption Vulnerability -
CVE-2006-1188) with a variant of my PoC.
To satisfy the request of the Microsoft Security Response Center I'm
going to support further details at a later date..

Internet Explorer, abbreviated IE or MSIE, is a proprietary web browser
made by Microsoft and currently available as part of Microsoft Windows.

xx Feb 06 - Vulnerabilities discovered.
