Descriptions

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to bypass security zone restrictions and execute arbitrary programs via a web document with a large number of duplicate file:// or other requests that point to the program and open multiple file download dialogs, which eventually cause Internet Explorer to execute the program, as demonstrated using a large number of FRAME or IFRAME tags, aka the "File Download Dialog Vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 permite que atacantes remotos se salten las restricciones de la zona de seguridad y ejecuten código arbitrario mediante un documento web con un elevado número de file:// u otras peticiones que apunten al programa, lo que ocasionalmente provoca que el Internet Explorer ejecute el programa, como se ha demostrado usando un elevado número de tags FRAME o IFRAME.
