An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2004-2434 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Ie. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2434/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2434/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-2434","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2434/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-2434","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mvm2-v72c-76wc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash Internet Explorer by tricking users into saving a malicious link, causing a null dereference during error message generation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ie","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2004-08-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-08-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"376","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer - 'mshtml.dll' Remote Null Pointer Crash"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2434","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:ie","products":["microsoft:ie"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2435"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2433"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0219","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-04-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0216","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0420","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-04-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1027","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-01-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash Internet Explorer by tricking users into saving a malicious link, causing a null dereference during error message generation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-2434/"}
