And even that small measure of warning is trivially defeated
if I change the url in my exploit.htm from
ms-its:mhtml:file://C:\foo.mht!${PATH}/EXPLOIT.CHM::/exploit.htm
to
ms-its:mhtml:file://C:\foo.mht!${PATH}/EXPLOIT.CHM::/exploit.htm
It gives no warning whatsoever, proofing once again that you shouldn't
solely rely on virus scanners, though others might do a better job, I can't
imagine anyone doing it worse

Subject: Re: new internet explorer exploit (was new worm)
Just wanted to add that Norton Anti-Virus 2004 will detect this exploit
and
pop up a warning, but also fails to halt its execution or protect the user
in any way.
Here is what it thinks it is:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/bloodhound.exploit.6.html
So there is some measure of warning, but no real protection.

It allows a mallicious person to take any action on an unsuspecting user
who
view's a specially prepared page's pc
The known ingredient it uses is :
http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Full-Disclosure/2003-08/1758.html
that has gone unpatched for over 5 months now
The remainder of the exploit manages to confuse this same adodb.stream
object enough to make it think it's being run from a local location
You can protect yourself against it by running
http://ip3e83566f.speed.planet.nl/hacked-by-chinese/fix.reg
I attached sample code myself to illustrate the problem, because
http-equiv's was messy :)
This one should be more straightforward to use
Instructions :
1. unzip
2. overwrite exploit.exe with the executable you wish to run, or leave it
untoched if you want to see some nice texturemapped rotation
3. upload the files to a webserver
4. view exploit.htm
Tested on winxp pro all patches
for the lazy ones among you can also view a demonstration here :
