Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released

Posted by simoniker on from the nda-never-signed dept.

mischief writes "A post to Bugtraq from SecurityTracker.com reports an Internet Explorer 5 exploit that has been released based on the Win2K code leak: 'It is reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted bitmap file that, when loaded by IE, will trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code.' Only affects IE 5 apparently, but still - it didn't take long!"

    Brother, I understand your point, but I really don't like the way you express it. At all.

    I would really like to keep this kind of crap off slashdot. The rest of the internet is a toilet. Save it for there. Thanks.
