Christey> In a followup to Bugtraq, Juan Carlos Cuartango makes some clarifications, specifically that the code that is executed *must* be signed by Microsoft. See BUGTRAQ:20000222 MS signed softwrare privileges Microsoft sends some followups, including a statement that it will include notification. The question is, does this belong in CVE? There is no known means of exploitation; on the other hand, it is related to privacy concerns. Several posts to the Bugtraq list indicate that some people believe that unprompted installation is a significant concern. Frech> XF:win-active-setup Levy> BID 999 I do consider this vulnerability as it allows a malicious web page to install *old* and *vulnerable* components signed by microsoft. LeBlanc> Fixed in MS00-042 Christey> BID:999 Also add XF:ie-active-setup-download ? |
