Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 on Windows XP

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, by utilizing a table with a frameset as a child. This triggers a null dereference, which can be demonstrated using the appendChild method.
