**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 through 6 **Description** A buffer overflow issue exists in the URL processor, potentially allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a URL with a long hostname. **Recommendations** For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 through 6, consider applying a patch or update to resolve the issue, however, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to URLs with long hostnames to minimize the risk of exploitation.
