Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 does not properly handle Drag and Drop events, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a link to an SMB file share with a filename that contains encoded ..\ (%2e%2e%5c) sequences and whose extension contains the CLSID Key identifier for HTML Applications (HTA), aka "Folder GUID Code Execution Vulnerability." NOTE: directory traversal sequences were used in the original exploit, although their role is not clear.

Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0 no maneja apropiadamente los eventos Drag y Drop, lo que permite a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario ejecutar código de su elección a través de un enlace al fichero compartido SMB con un nombre que contiene una secuencia codificada ..\ (%2e%2e%5c)y cuya extensión incluye al identificador CLSID Key para HTML Applications (HTA), como "Folder GUID Code Execution Vulnerability." NOTA: la secuencia de salto de directorio fue usado en el exploit original, aunque sus roles no quedan claros.
