Vulnerability Details
PNG Image Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CAN-2005-1211
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer because
of the way that it handles PNG images. An attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by constructing a malicious PNG image that could potentially
allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site or
viewed a malicious e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited
this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
XML Redirect Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CAN-2002-0648
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer because
of the way that it handles certain requests to display XML content. An
attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious Web
page that could potentially lead to information disclosure if a user visited
a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could read XML data from another
Internet Explorer domain. However, user interaction is required to exploit
this vulnerability.
