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-2006-6659 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-2006-6659/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6659/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6659","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6659/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6659","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fq94-vv2j-8hwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office Outlook","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause Internet Explorer 7 to hang via crafted HTML exploiting the Outlook Recipient ActiveX control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ie","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"outlook","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","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":"The Microsoft Office Outlook Recipient ActiveX control (ole32.dll) in Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer 7 hang) via crafted HTML.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2006-12-18","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-12-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"29295","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Outlook - ActiveX Control Remote Internet Explorer Denial of Service"},{"date":"2006-12-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"2946","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Office Outlook Recipient Control - 'ole32.dll' Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6659","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:ie","products":["microsoft:ie","microsoft:outlook","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6660"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6658"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-20","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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause Internet Explorer 7 to hang via crafted HTML exploiting the Outlook Recipient ActiveX control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6659/"}
