Original message :
Hola: Well, as it seems that is the Microsoft Crash mounth, let see another
one:
--------------------------------- <html> <form> <input type crash> </form> </html> --------------------------------- This will crash IE with the following error: "Unhandled exception in iexplore.exe (SHLWAPI.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation" It's a null pointer overwrite, so it's not easly exploitable...
This HTML also crash Outlook, Frontpage, and all the Microsoft programs
that >use the shlwapi.dll library to render web code.
Plain HTML is a dangerous language :)
Added : It also seems to crash explorer.exe when the .html file containing the code is copied into any folder !! It may work since windows is trying to create a view in Windows explorer. Indeed, it doesn't work when the file is copied in the desktop. Tested on Windows XP with Office XP.
