Exploit: IE script action overload (CVE-2006-1245)

This exploit uses a malicious web page to overload Microsoft Internet Explorer with a very large number of 'on' control handlers, such as "onclick", causing IE to write into memory outside its allocated range. This causes IE to crash, with the possibility that carefully designed malicious code will run.

A description of this bug was published in the BugTrag mailing list 16 March, 2006, along with a pointer to a Proof of Concept web page that crashes IE. Microsoft responded with a patch to correct this bug on 11 April, 2006 - (MSO6-013).
