Hi,

 

On XP SP1, following the test link from that page you get the message:

Subject: [ukha_d] OT: XP vulnerability

This is not particularly hot news as it was reported on the register
2 weeks ago, but for those that haven't seen it, there is a very easy
to exploit and rather nasty 'feature' in XP that you should fix. Full
details are here http://24.78.2.184/helpcenter.htm along with a test
to show how easy it is to exploit it and some details to fix it. It
should be noted that at present, the *only* way to fix this through
MS is the XP SP1, it is not in any of the patches independently.

Regards

Graham
