Description

Windows contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the OS allowing mouse events to control certain window operations via method caching. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host that could be executed via another vulnerability.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

The window operations are:

window.resizeBy(), window.resizeTo(), window.moveBy(), and window.moveTo()

This vulnerability is the same as that fixed in MS03-048. The fix in MS03-048 disallowed access to these functions, but did not address the possibility of accessing these functions through other functions which reference them, which has been refered to as method caching.

Solution

Currently, there are no known workarounds or upgrades to correct this issue. However, Microsoft has released a patch to address this vulnerability.
