Internet Explorer URL parsing vulnerability
Vendor Notified 09 December, 2003

# Vulnerability ##########
There is a flaw in the way that Internet Explorer
displays URLs in the address bar.

By opening a specially crafted URL an attacker can
open a page that appears to be
from a different domain from the current location. 

# Exploit ##########
By opening a window using the http://user@domain
nomenclature an attacker can hide
the real location of the page by including a 0x01
character after the "@" character.
Internet Explorer doesn't display the rest of the URL
making the page appear to be
at a different domain.
