Impact: Exposure of system information
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Partial Fix

Software: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Description:
Benjamin Tobias Franz has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer,
which can be exploited by malicious sites to detect the presence of local
files.

The problem is that an "Access is Denied" error will be returned if a site
in the "Internet" zone tries to open an existing local file in the search
window using the "res:" URI handler. This can be exploited to determine
the presence of specific programs or files in the system directories and
on the desktop.

The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP SP1.

Solution:
The vulnerability does not affect systems running Windows XP with SP2
installed.

Disable Active Scripting Support.
