Windows XP Delete Files Vulnerability
Proof of concept
Copy some files in your c:\windows\temp\
directory. Now click on this link:
Delete windows\temp files (Link removed for your
security)
A Windows Help Centre wizard shows up, but the files are already being
deleted in the background.
Interesting isn't it? Even more interesting is that this link could
easily be made to run from a web page or email without you even clicking a
link.
Fix:
Install
Windows XP service pack 1 from Microsoft (HUGE download)
OR
Install a
hotfix from Microsoft to fix the problem.
