CVE-2006-3281

Description

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 does not properly handle Drag and Drop events, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a link to an SMB file share with a filename that contains encoded .. (%2e%2e%5c) sequences and whose extension contains the CLSID Key identifier for HTML Applications (HTA), aka Folder GUID Code Execution Vulnerability. NOTE: directory traversal sequences were used in the original exploit, although their role is not clear.
