A component in Microsoft Outlook Express 6 allows remote attackers to bypass domain restrictions and obtain sensitive information via redirections with the mhtml: URI handler, as originally reported for Internet Explorer 6 and 7, aka "URL Redirect Cross Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Windows Address Book (WAB) file containing "certain Unicode strings" and modified length values.

The Outlook Express Address Book control, when using Internet Explorer 6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and browser crash) by creating the OutlookExpress.AddressBook COM object, which is not intended for use within Internet Explorer.

Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0 leaks the default news server account when a user responds to a "watched" conversation thread, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the news reader for Microsoft Outlook Express (MSOE.DLL) 5.5 SP2, 6, and 6 SP1 allows remote malicious NNTP servers to execute arbitrary code via a LIST response with a long second field.

Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, load content from arbitrary sources into the Outlook context, and facilitate phishing attacks via a "BASE HREF" with the target set to "_top".

Outlook Express 6.0, when sending multipart e-mail messages using the "Break apart messages larger than" setting, leaks the BCC recipients of the message to the addresses listed in the To and CC fields, which may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 and 6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed e-mail header.

The MHTML protocol handler in Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 SP2 through Outlook Express 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to bypass domain restrictions and execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated on Internet Explorer using script in a compiled help (CHM) file that references the InfoTech Storage (ITS) protocol handlers such as (1) ms-its, (2) ms-itss, (3) its, or (4) mk:@MSITStore, aka the "MHTML URL Processing Vulnerability."
