CVE-2002-0193: Microsoft Internet Explorer

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 33.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed Content-Disposition and Content-Type header fields that cause the application for the spoofed file type to pass the file back to the operating system for handling rather than raise an error message, aka the first variant of the "Content Disposition" vulnerability.

Affected products

• Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 5.0.1 only; version 6.0 only
