Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 through 6

Description A remote code execution issue exists due to the way Internet Explorer interprets HTML with certain layout combinations, specifically involving DIV tags and HTML CSS float properties that trigger memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this by constructing a specially crafted Web page, potentially allowing remote code execution if a user viewed the page. This could enable an attacker to take complete control of an affected system.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 through 6, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
