All,

Isn't this the same as the History/Tab/Tab/Tab issue discussed a while
back.


open a cmd window.
type the following really fast
dir
F9
F9
F9
Tab
Tab
Tab

You should get the same results.
I believe there are some systems that are not vulnerable but can't
recall
the details as to why at the moment. Try searching the vuln-dev
archives.

It would be interesting to see if one can push enough to make it
exploitable
but I am sure somebody is looking at that again right now.

Jason

I tried this on MS Visual Studio v4 and Windows 2000 Advanced
Server Service
Pack 2 with some hotfixes for IIS 5.0, Not a peep from my box.

I also did this with Visual Studio v7 beta 2, still not a problem.
