Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#923508Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 contains a cross-domain vulnerabilityOverviewMicrosoft Internet Explorer 6 is vulnerable to a cross-domain scripting violation, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access the content of a web page in a different domain.I. DescriptionIE uses a cross-domain security model to maintain separation between browser frames from different sources. This model is designed to prevent code in one domain from accessing data in a different domain. The Internet Security Manager Object determines in which zone or domain a URL exists and what actions can be performed. From Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-048:One of the principal security functions of a browser is to ensure that browser windows that are under the control of different Web sites cannot interfere with each other or access each other's data, while allowing windows from the same site to interact with each other. To differentiate between cooperative and uncooperative browser windows, the concept of a "domain" has been created. A domain is a security boundary - any open windows within the same domain can interact with each other, but windows from different domains cannot. The cross-domain security model is the part of the security architecture that keeps windows from different domains from interfering with each other. Proof-of-concept code that demonstrates this vulnerability is publicly available. II. ImpactBy convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message), an attacker may be able to obtain access to web content in another domain. The impact is similar to that of a cross-site scripting vulnerability. For a more detailed description of the impact of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, please see CERT Advisory CA-2000-02.III. SolutionWe are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workarounds:Apply an update

Title: | Window Location Property Cross-Domain Vulnerability | ||
Description: | Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6, and 7 allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains via JavaScript that uses the Object data type for the value of a (1) location or (2) location.href property, related to incorrect determination of the origin of web script, aka "Window Location Property Cross-Domain Vulnerability." NOTE: according to Microsoft, CVE-2008-2948 and CVE-2008-2949 are duplicates of this issue, probably different attack vectors. | ||
