Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Win XP (Web Browser). Affected is some unknown processing of the component File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Multiple absolute path traversal vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allow remote attackers to access arbitrary local files via the file: URI in the (1) src attribute of a (a) bgsound, (b) input, (c) EMBED, (d) img, or (e) script tag; (2) data attribute of an object tag; (3) value attribute of a param tag; (4) background attribute of a body tag; or (5) the background:url attribute declared in the BODY parameter of a STYLE tag.

The issue has been introduced in 03/22/2001. The weakness was published 06/26/2007 by Rajesh Sethumadhavan (Website). The advisory is available at xdisclose.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-3406. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1006 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.
