Hey. I've been waiting to see when somebody finally got around to testing Outlook express. It's also possible to exploit this through Outlook full version from office 2003. I have also discovered other problems (not difficult to fine) which allows the execution of any program which has registered as a document handler, with the URL been passed to it. This gets interesting when the local application has problems such as a command line buffer overflow. I'm guessing this is similar to what has been documented here. http://xs-sniper.com/blog/2007/09/01/firefox-file-handling-woes/ .brett On 10/8/07, Morning Wood <se_cur_ity () hotmail com> wrote:

(IMHO) The behaviour is this : The extension determines the handler to use to shell "../../../../windows/system32/calc.exe" Example : mailto:test%../../../../windows/system32/calc.exe".cmd Usese the cmd handler to open calc (which executes) mailto:test%../../../../windows/system32/calc.exe".txt uses notepad and tries to open calc. Somethings definately broken with the URI handler (imho) -- http://secdev.zoller.lu Thierry Zoller Fingerprint : 5D84 BFDC CD36 A951 2C45 2E57 28B3 75DD 0AC6 F1C7 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
