Several Things about IE bugs:



1st, i coded a stable demo of 1stCleanRc:

http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/1stCleanRc/1stCleanRc -Xp/index.html

some anti-Virus firewall tools may detect this exploit as a virus, but most of these tools will fail if the exploit *files* are changed.(malware also suggested this. :-) )

(

more information about this remote compromise is available at:

http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/1stCleanRc/index.html 

)



second, the list of unpatched IE bugs is moved to:

http://continue.to/trie 

OR

http://die.leox.com/DirSvc/security/trie/index.html? 

the latest site-spoofing bug ( http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/346948 ) was also added there. 

the list should be up-to-date, but i could not update my website SAFECENTER.NET/UMBRELLAWEBV4 hosted by BRINKSTER.COM - both web management interface and ftp5.brinkster.com server are unreachable, even thru anonymous proxies.

(thanks to 

http://www.leox.com 

for providing this host.)



third, about the bug at:

http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/threadid10008/threadid1 0008-Content.htm

again, it doesn't work on all windowz systems, as i already stated at:

http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/threadid10008/threadid1 0008-Note.htm

long ago.

but it did work on the Pull's WIN2K, dror's WINXP, codedreamers' WINXP and my WINXP - all up-to-date.

this bug was also found by Codedreamers of 

http://codewebs.com 

independently, but i think i got it before he. :-)

the demo of this vulnerability is at:

http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/threadid10008/threadid1 0008-Demo/default.asp

if a download prompt pops up, the exploit fails; if a new IE window pops up, the exploit works.





4th, i collected several interesting notes, mostly about pivx and ms:

"PivX is continually updating the Unpatched page, albeit internally."

( 

"albeit" =

(i got this from jelmer at:

;-)  )



at last, linux is cool. ;-) but windows is more exciting. :-P i use both.
