Re: NSLOOKUP.EXE

Hi,

On a related note, we had reported the following local BOs to MS. But since, neither they nor us could come up with any remote exploits for this, I guess members on this list could check it out. Some of these do not work on Win2K SP3, but do work on earlier versions.

First:
C:\>regsvr32 AAAAAAA...(1300 times)

Second:

C:\>winhlp32 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.exe

Again, unless any of these runs with elevated privileges, or someone feeds in data remotely to these exes, the buffer overflows do not represent a security risk.
