Hello, A little update on the MSIE Nested Object vulnerability.
During further investigation of the issue reported by Michal Zalewski and the exploit provided by Secunia to Microsoft on Wednesday 26th April, we have concluded that the exploit does not exploit the exact issue reported by Michal Zalewski but a variant hereof. Microsoft therefore treats this as a privately disclosed vulnerability, thus Secunia will not be releasing any further details before Microsoft releases a patch for this vulnerability. Kind regards, Thomas Kristensen CTO Secunia Hammerensgade 4, 2. floor DK-1267 Copenhagen K Denmark Tlf.: +45 7020 5144 Fax: +45 7020 5145 On Fri, 2006-04-28 at 09:33 +0200, Secunia Research wrote: > Hello, > > There has recently been some discussion regarding whether or not the > MSIE Nested Object Vulnerability reported by Michal Zalewski is > exploitable or not. > > Link to Michal Zalewski Full-Disclosure Posting: > http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2006- > April/045422.html > > Because of this, Secunia has received several enquiries and comments > about the "Highly critical" rating of this advisory (SA19762) as no > proof of exploitation has been publicly disclosed. > > In response to this, we would like to stress that Secunia has developed > a working exploit for this vulnerability.
