CVE-2005-2087

CVE-2005-2087 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 SP4 through 6, affecting various Windows operating systems. Remote attackers can crash the application and potentially execute arbitrary code by embedding specific CLSIDs in a web page that reference non-ActiveX COM objects, such as the JVIEW Profiler (Javaprxy.dll). This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0 (medium severity) with a low attack complexity and no authentication required, primarily leading to a denial of service. While the vendor reportedly could not reproduce the issue, an ExploitDB entry exists demonstrating a remote overflow, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit/Nuclei modules, or significant community discussion.
