Microsoft Internet Explorer Multiple Vulnerabilities
Secunia Advisory: SA12889
Release Date: 2004-10-20
Last Update: 2005-01-07

Critical:
Extremely critical
Impact: Security Bypass
Cross Site Scripting
System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Unpatched

Software: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system, conduct cross-site/zone scripting and bypass a security feature in Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

1) Insufficient validation of drag and drop events from the "Internet" zone to local resources for valid images or media files with embedded HTML code. This can be exploited by e.g. a malicious web site to plant arbitrary HTML documents on a user's system, which may allow execution of arbitrary script code in the "Local Computer" zone.
