RE: [Full-Disclosure] Microsoft's Explorer and Internet Explorer long share name buffer overflow.

["Bryce Porter" <bporter () heart net>]

I tried this on Windows XP with SP1 on a few machines in my office, and had varying results.

If I went into the My Network Places, it recognized the 'share name' was too long and displayed an error dialog. It 
would not let me open the share and nothing else happened. Explorer did not lock up.

If I went Start -> Run -> \\server.ip.address, it immediately crashed explorer and asked the usual question 'Do you 
want to submit a bug report?'

I have not tried Internet Explorer yet, but I will keep you informed.

This crashed IE 5.0.3700.1000 on Win2k SP4

Both the EBP and EIP were overwritten with 0x00410041.
ESP holds the Share name as passed by the server.
ESI holds   servers.ip\sharename (tolowered)

I guess its unicode ninjitsu time.
