Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 omits high-bit URL-encoded characters when displaying the address bar, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via a URL with a domain name that differs from an important domain name only in these characters, as demonstrated by using exam%A9ple.com to spoof example.com, aka MSRC ticket MSRC7900.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 omite ciertos caracteres codificados al mostrar la barra de direcciones, lo que permite a un atacante remoto falsear la barra de direcciones por medio de una URL con un dominio que difiere de un dominio importante solo en esos caracteres, como se demuestra usando exam%A9ple.com para falsear example.com, también conocido como ticket MSRC MSRC7900.
