Here's some IE bugs out of my own collection that still aren't patched (IE6.0 W2K):

Stack overflows (_not_ buffer overflows):
<HTML>
  <SCRIPT> a = new Array(); while (1) { (a = new Array(a)).sort(); } </SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT> a = new Array(); while (1) { (a = new Array(a)).sort(); } </SCRIPT>
</HTML>
<HTML> <BODY onLoad="A"><IMG src="::" onError="this.src=this.src;"></BODY> </HTML>

Null pointer:
<HTML style="width:expression(navigate('?#'))">
  <HEAD> <META http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans()"> </HEAD>
</HTML>

None of them pose a security-risk and they all require JavaScript. So now I actually forgot why I decided to mention them in a reply to this post. Well, maybe MS can fix them in the next SP now that they know about them...

Cheers,
SkyLined
