Hi, > http://www.heise.de/security/artikel/50051 I also read this yesterday (the German version) and I think it's not a vulnerability. It's IMO a misconception in the way how SP2 treats alien executables. And on the other hand it does not actually lower the value of SP2 concerning security - because the rest of SP2 already boosted security (this time despite compatibility issues - thanks to MS for finally skipping compatibility in favor of security). But I agree with the author that MS should fix this anyway! Can someone please check if ShellExecute()/ShellExecuteEx() behave different from the CreateProcess-functions *)? Could that be the reason? Where is the information stored, that a file was downloaded - ADS? - EAs? ... some arcane new feature? Oliver *) CreateProcess, CreateProcessAsUser, CreateProcessWithLogonW, CreateProcessWithTokenW -- --------------------------------------------------- May the source be with you, stranger ... ;)
