Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180, 7, and 8.0.7600.16385 executes a mail application in situations where an IFRAME element has a mailto: URL in its SRC attribute, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive application launches) via an HTML document with many IFRAME elements.

Heap-based buffer overflow in vmnc.dll in the VMnc media codec in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.4 Build 246459 on Windows, and the movie decoder in VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.4 build 246459, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.4 build 246459, and VMware Server 2.x on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AVI file with crafted video chunks that use HexTile encoding.

vmnc.dll in the VMnc media codec in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.4 Build 246459 on Windows, and the movie decoder in VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.4 build 246459, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.4 build 246459, and VMware Server 2.x on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AVI file with crafted HexTile-encoded video chunks that trigger heap-based buffer overflows, related to "integer truncation errors."

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Movie Maker 2.1, 2.6, and 6.0, and Microsoft Producer 2003, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted project (.MSWMM) file, aka "Movie Maker and Producer Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."

Stack-based buffer overflow in the MOVIEPLAYER.MoviePlayerCtrl.1 ActiveX control in MoviePlayer.ocx 6.8.0.0 in Viscom Software Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX 6.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long strFontName parameter to the DrawText method.

The VMnc media codec in vmnc.dll in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404, and VMware ACE 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404 on Windows does not properly handle certain small heights in video content, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted AVI file that triggers heap memory corruption.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the VMnc media codec in vmnc.dll in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404, and VMware ACE 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404 on Windows might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a video file with crafted dimensions (aka framebuffer parameters).

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a long Unicode string argument to the write method, a related issue to CVE-2009-2479. NOTE: it was later reported that 7.0.6000.16473 and earlier are also affected.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, and possibly other versions, detects http content in https web pages only when the top-level frame uses https, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script, in an https site's context, by modifying an http page to include an https iframe that references a script file on an http site, related to "HTTP-Intended-but-HTTPS-Loadable (HPIHSL) pages."

Microsoft Internet Explorer before 8 uses the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a document provided in a (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response from a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script by modifying this CONNECT response, aka an "SSL tampering" attack.
