AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Internet Explorer versions 5.0 through 6.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files on the client. This is achieved via an IMG tag with a dynsrc property that references the target file, setting certain elements of the image object, such as file size.

Recommendations For Internet Explorer versions 5.0 through 6.0, consider disabling the use of the dynsrc property in IMG tags as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
