That's what I have been trying to entire time. But for some reason you can't pass parameters to the file correctly. Ex- The behavior of code red passing commands to cmd.exe. But it doesn't seem to like that. However the exploit released on FD mentioned visiting a shared folder. What I was thinking was that this exploit would have to be multi layered and have the ability to pass params. to the exe. So far I don't see that happening. My question: What about the problem with IE still? They haven't attempted to correct the issue or make ANY public announcements. I know they have enough holes but still. I think this problem showcases the great response by the Mozilla team to correct issues and hopefully will help with the move AWAY from IE and M$.

The advisory mentions that combining this with a BoF can result in remote
code execution, but they totally forget to mention that formatstring exploits, integeroverflows, XSS, SQL injection, etc... might cause the same problems too. I bet they just read FD and didn't think for themselves. As far as I can see, this bug allows an attacker to remotely abuse any vulnerability a local program might be subject to, thus making any local exploit a possible remote exploit. It would seem that one would have to be able to pass parameters to the file being called for these types of attacks to be possible. -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer James Madison University _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
