Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a link with "::{" (colon colon left brace), which triggers a null dereference when the user attempts to save the link using "Save As" and Internet Explorer prepares an error message with an attacker-controlled format string.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 browser-crash issue. A malicious page or link could crash the browser when a user tries to save the link. The evidence points to denial of service, not system takeover. Business urgency is mainly for environments that still depend on very old Internet Explorer workflows. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy endpoints or applications still using Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1. Modern supported browsers are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Treat as a legacy-risk cleanup item, not an emergency, unless IE 6.0 SP1 remains in business-critical or internet-facing use. The practical priority is finding and retiring obsolete browser dependencies. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 usage.; Retire or replace affected browser workflows where possible.; Avoid using affected IE versions for untrusted web content..
