Denial Of Service in Internet Explorer for MS Windows Mobile 5.0 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Date of Release: 09/02/2007 Description: A vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer for Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 (for smart phone and pocket PC) that impacts upon the availability and security of devices operating on this platform. It is possible for an attacker to create an overflow state within Internet Explorer, resulting in the termination of the normal functionality of IE and a Denial of Service, should the device browser access a WML page with malformed content. Users of affected devices must perform a hard battery reset in order to resume Internet Explorer and normal device operations. Patch / Fix: No patch is available at this time Advisory History: This issue was first reported to Microsoft on 31/01/07. Full technical details of this vulnerability will be withheld for the next ninety days, or until such time as a patch / fix is forthcoming (whichever event happens first). Credit: Michael Kemp (www.clappymonkey.com) BTW: I know this is technically not Full Disclosure, but I'm 'attempting' to play nice with MS - hence the 90 day delay (or until patch). I'll keep this list posted regarding full tech details as soon as is possible, but thought folks would like to know an issue exists in the interim. Cheers.
