Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Internet Explorer version 6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash. This is achieved through the use of Javascript that creates a new popup window and disables the imagetoolbar functionality with a META tag, triggering a null dereference.

Recommendations For Internet Explorer version 6, consider disabling Javascript execution in popup windows as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict the use of META tags that modify imagetoolbar functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
