Mark,
 
You are correct, I should not have replied to Mark when I had not yet had my 
morning coffee. The dynamic rendering of OBJECT elements still trigger the HTA 
functionality exposed in Windows. Personally, though, I see this as an 
unrelated vulnerability regarding static/dynamic code rendering which has a 
greater impact than just allowing HTA code to execute.
 
Both GM#001 and thePulls POC, which malware cites, are one and the same issue 
instead of two separate, they both trigger the dynamic rendering of HTML 
instead of the static - GM#001 just does this without requiring scripting.

        Actually the MS03-032 patch doesn't stop the object data vulnerability.
        
        
        Check it here... http://www.secunia.com/MS03-032/
        I am patched with MS03-032 ( Q822925 ) but am still vulnerable.
        
        Possibly the particular version at haxr.org is the exploit that the
        patch
        fixes but if it is, it could easily be modified to the vuln that still
        works.  Only way to really stop it is kill your activex scripting for
        untrusted sites.
