Re: Internet explorer Vulnerbility

[Alexander Sotirov <asotirov () determina com>]

Confirmed on a fully patched Windows XP.

It's a stack overflow in inetconn.dll, but it's most likely not exploitable
because the DLL is compiled with /GS. There are no other interesting variables
to overwrite between the buffer and the return address. Overwriting the
arguments doesn't get us anywhere either.

It would be exploitable on older systems not compiled with /GS, but the code
where the vulnerability is was added in XP SP2.
