Re: Winnt/Win2k Vuln ?

[Felipe Franciosi <ozzy () paradoxo org>]

Hi,

My quick analysis:

If you type something on the location bar of explorer, it will try to
execute it if it's in the windows desktop.

The  file  was executed only because the extension was .COM... if you
try .BR or .ORG,  for example, explorer will ask you which program to
use.

tested on windows 98 with exploder version 5.50.4522.1800

Best Regards,
Felipe
