ASRL has limited entropy and the attacker can continue to try exploits
an infinite number of times (as Solar Eclipse points out). This means
you can write a reliable Vista exploit, theoretically. I'll probably
finish one up on Monday.

IE in protected mode would still allow you access to the local network
and, more importantly, anything IE does. You could, for example,
inject code into all viewed webpages that steals passwords and
whatnot. Just at the very minimum.

In Vista this should have problems because of ASLR, right?

I'm beginning to think that web-based attacks with this in Vista aren't
really so scary. Even if you can get them to execute what can you really
do in IE protected mode? You need to get the user to run the ANI outside
of IE. Can anyone say what actually happens if you read an e-mail in the
Vista Mail program with an attack ANI embedded?
