CVE-2006-0830: Microsoft Internet Explorer

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 14.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The scripting engine in Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a web page that contains a recurrent call to an infinite loop in Javascript or VBscript, which consumes the stack, as demonstrated by resetting the "location" variable within the loop.
