Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a certain combination of a malformed HTML file and a CSS file that triggers a null dereference, probably related to rendering of a DIV element that contains a malformed IMG tag, as demonstrated by IEcrash.htm and IEcrash.rar.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A specially crafted webpage could crash Internet Explorer 6 on older Windows systems. The sourced impact is denial of service against the browser, not server compromise or data theft. Business urgency depends on whether legacy IE6 remains in use. Exposure appears limited to systems still using Internet Explorer 6 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1/SP2, or Windows Server 2003 SP1. Modern browsers or later Windows versions are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Prioritize if legacy IE6 is still present in operational workflows. Otherwise, this is mainly a legacy hygiene issue with low modern exposure. The main business risk is disruption of old workstation-dependent processes. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining IE6 usage on the listed Windows versions.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for supported remediation options.; Retire or isolate legacy browsing systems where business processes still depend on IE6..
