Description:
Jelmer has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer, allowing malicious sites to detect the presence of local files.
The problem is that a vbscript can cause Internet Explorer to report different error messages depending on whether a file specified in a form exists or not. This could be exploited to determine the presence of specific programs or data.
This is a variant of older vulnerabilities reported to affect previous versions of Internet Explorer.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 6.0 SP1 with all patches applied.
