RE: YEY AGAIN Automatic remote compromise of InternetExplorer Service Pack 2 XP SP2

[Aviv Raff <avivra () 012 net il>]

Hi,
 
Somehow the POC does not work on both of my WinXPSP2 pro boxes.
Both are fully patched, but one is hardened and the other is after a clean
install.
 
After running the POC, the IE opens the Help window, but then freezes for a
couple of minutes. 
After IE stops freezing, there is no Microsoft Office.hta on the startup
folder.
 
And yes, I'm running this on an Administrator account.
 
Can anyone else confirm this?

- Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2
- Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2

Not Tested

Proof of Concept?
------------------

- If an error is shown, press OK. This is normal.

- Notice in your startup menu a new file called Microsoft Office.hta. When
run, this file will download and launch a harmless executable (which
includes a pretty neat fire animation)
