Security Patches
Summary
On September 28, 1999, Microsoft released a workaround
for a security vulnerability in Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5 that could
allow a malicious web site operator to read files on the computer of a
person who visited the site. Microsoft has completed a patch that
completely eliminates the vulnerability.
Frequently asked questions regarding this vulnerability can be found on
the Microsoft security
Web site.
Issue
IE 5 includes a feature called "download behavior" that
allows web page authors to download files for use in client-side script.
By design, a web site should only be able to download files that reside in
its domain; this prevents client-side code from exposing files on the
user's machine or local intranet to the web site. However, a server-side
redirect can be used to bypass this restriction, thereby enabling a
malicious web site operator to read files on the user's machine or the
user's local intranet. This vulnerability would chiefly affect
workstations that are connected to the Internet.
Affected Software Versions:
Patch Availability
The patch is available for download at either of the following

Summary
On September 10, 1999, Microsoft provided a workaround for a security
vulnerability in Microsoft© Internet Explorer 5 that could allow a
malicious web site operator to take inappropriate action on the computer
of a person who visited the site. Microsoft has completed a patch that
completely eliminates the vulnerability. In addition to eliminating the
"ImportExportFavorites" vulnerability, the patch also eliminates
a security vulnerability posed by several ActiveX controls that ship as
part of Internet Explorer 4.01 and 5.
Frequently asked questions regarding this vulnerability can be found on
the Microsoft security
Web site.
Issue
IE 5 includes a feature that allows users to export a list of their
favorite web sites to a file, or to import a file containing a list of
favorite sites. The method that is used to perform this function, ImportExportFavorites(),
should only allow particular types of files to be written, and only to
specific locations on the drive. However, it is possible for a web site to
invoke this method, bypass this restriction and write files that could be
used to execute system commands. The net result is that a malicious web
site operator potentially could take any action on the computer that the
user would be capable of taking.
This vulnerability would chiefly affect workstations that are connected
to the Internet. The patch restores correct operation to the
ImportExportFavorites() method. In addition, the patch addresses security
problems posed by several ActiveX controls. The specific controls and the
actions taken are discussed in the FAQ.
