CVE-2002-0269
Internet Explorer 5.x and 6 - Cross-Site Scripting via MIME Content-Type Misinterpretation
Title source: llmDescription
Internet Explorer 5.x and 6 interprets an object as an HTML document even when its MIME Content-Type is text/plain, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in documents that the user does not expect, possibly through web applications that use a text/plain type to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
