CVE-2006-1192

TITLE

Microsoft Internet Explorer Vulnerable to address bar spoofing

DESCRIPTION

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 allows remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks by spoofing the address bar and other parts of the trust UI via unknown methods that allow "window content to persist" after the user has navigated to another site, aka the "Address Bar Spoofing Vulnerability." NOTE: this is a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1626. Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to address-bar spoofing. Attackers may exploit this via a malicious web page to spoof the contents of a page that the victim may trust. This vulnerability may be useful in phishing or other attacks that rely on content spoofing. TITLE: Internet Explorer Multiple Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA18957 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/18957/ CRITICAL: Highly critical IMPACT: Spoofing, System access, Cross Site Scripting WHERE: >From remote SOFTWARE: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 http://secunia.com/product/10/ Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 http://secunia.com/product/9/ Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x http://secunia.com/product/11/ DESCRIPTION: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, conduct phishing attacks, or compromise a user's system. 1) An error in the cross-domain restriction when accessing properties of certain dynamically created objects can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an arbitrary site via a JavaScript URI handler applied on a dynamically created "object" tag. 2) An error within the handling of multiple event handlers (e.g. onLoad) in an HTML element can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that may allow execution of arbitrary code. 3) An error within the parsing of specially crafted, non-valid HTML can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that allows execution of arbitrary code when a malicious HTML document is viewed. 4) An error within the instantiation of COM objects that are not intended to be instantiated in Internet Explorer can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that allows execution of arbitrary code. 5) An error within the handling of HTML elements containing a specially crafted tag can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that allows execution of arbitrary code. 6) An error within the handling of double-byte characters in specially crafted URLs can be exploited to corrupt memory in a way that allows execution of arbitrary code. Successful exploitation requires that the system uses double-byte character sets. 7) An error in the way IOleClientSite information is returned when an embedded object is dynamically created can be exploited to execute arbitrary code in context of another site or security zone. 8) An unspecified error can be exploited to spoof information displayed in the address bar and other parts of the trust UI. 9) Some unspecified vulnerabilities exist in the two ActiveX controls included with Danim.dll and Dxtmsft.dll.
