General Information
Executive Summary
Executive Summary:
This update resolves a newly-discovered, publicly reported vulnerability.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows
Shell launches applications.
If a user is logged on with administrative privileges, an attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of
an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or
deleting data; or creating new accounts with full privileges. However,
significant user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer privileges on the system
would be at less risk than users who operate with administrative
privileges.
We recommend that customers consider applying the security update.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to this security update
I'm still using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 6a or
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, but extended security update support ended on
June 30, 2004. However, this bulletin has a security update for these
operating system versions. Why is that?
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 6a and Windows 2000 Service Pack 2
have reached the end of their life cycles as previously documented, and
Microsoft extended this support to June 30, 2004. However, the end-of-life
for the extended support period occurred very recently. In this case, the
majority of the steps that are required to address this vulnerability were
completed before June 30, 2004. Therefore, we have decided to release
security updates for these operating system versions as part of this
security bulletin. We do not anticipate doing this for future
vulnerabilities affecting these operating system versions, but we reserve
the right to produce updates and to make these updates available when
necessary.
It should be a priority for customers who have these operating system
versions to migrate to supported versions to prevent potential exposure to
future vulnerabilities. For more information about the Windows Product
Life Cycle, visit the following Microsoft Support Lifecycle Web site. For
more information about the extended security update support period for
these operating system versions, visit the following Microsoft Product
Support Services Web site.
Customers who require additional support for Windows NT Workstation 4.0
SP6a must contact their Microsoft account team representative, their
Technical Account Manager, or the appropriate Microsoft partner
representative for custom support options. Customers without an Alliance,
Premier, or Authorized Contract can contact their local Microsoft sales
office. For contact information, visit the Microsoft Worldwide Information
Web site, select the country, and then click Go to see a list of phone
numbers. When you call, ask to speak with the local Premier Support sales
manager.
For more information, see the Windows Operating System FAQ.
What updates does this release replace?
This security update replaces several prior security bulletins. The
security bulletin IDs and operating systems that are affected are listed
in the table below.

Does this update contain any other changes to functionality?
Yes. In addition to the changes that are listed in the Vulnerability
Details section of this bulletin, this update includes the following
changes in functionality:
This update refines a change made in Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1,
which prevents Web pages that are loaded while a user is in the Internet
zone from navigating to the Local Machine zone. This change was introduced
to mitigate the effects of potential new cross domain vulnerabilities. The
changes introduced in this update are additional enhancements of the
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 restrictions.
Microsoft has also made another defense in depth change which limits the
functionality of the Shell Automation Service ActiveX control
(shell.application). This feature has been modified to provide greater
security and to prevent potential malicious use. Microsoft considers this
to be a defense in depth measure that we are taking to provide additional
protection against malicious use.
How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
and Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for
these operating systems?
Microsoft will only release security updates for critical security issues.
Non-critical security issues are not offered during this support period.
For more information about the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policies for
these operating systems, visit the following Web site.
For more information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site.
Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium Edition
critically affected by any of the vulnerabilities that are addressed in
this security bulletin?
No. None of these vulnerabilities are critical in severity on Windows 98,
on Windows 98 Second Edition, or on Windows Millennium Edition.
Can I use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) to determine if
this update is required?
MBSA will determine if this update is required for Windows 2000 (all
versions), Windows XP (all versions), and Windows 2003 (all versions).
MBSA does not currently support the full detection of this update for the
Windows NT 4.0 product (all versions). For more information about MBSA,
visit the MBSA Web site.
Note After April 20, 2004, the Mssecure.xml file that is used by MBSA
1.1.1 and earlier versions is no longer being updated with new security
bulletin data. Therefore, scans that are performed after that date with
MBSA 1.1.1 or earlier will be incomplete. All users should upgrade to MBSA
1.2 because it provides more accurate security update detection and
supports additional products. Users can download MBSA 1.2 from the MBSA
Web site. For more information about MBSA support, visit the following
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.2 Q&A Web site.
Can I use Systems Management Server (SMS) to determine if this update is
required?
SMS uses MBSA for detection. SMS can help detect and deploy this security
update for Windows 2000 (all versions), Windows XP (all versions), and
Windows 2003 (all versions). This update is not detected by MBSA for the
Windows NT 4.0 product (all versions). However, the file and registry key
information that is available in this bulletin can be used to write
specific file and registry key collection queries in SMS to detect
vulnerable computers. For information about how to deploy updates not
supported by MBSA with SMS, please review Knowledge Base article 867832.
For information about SMS, visit the SMS Web site.
What component installs the Shell-Integrated Browser (Active Desktop) on
my Windows NT 4.0 system?
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 can install this component. If you have
Internet Explorer 4.0 installed on your system, you might have the
Shell-Integrated Browser.
How do I know if I have Active Desktop installed on my Windows NT 4.0
system?
Microsoft Knowledgebase Article 216840 contains information on how to
determine if you have Active Desktop installed on your system.
Why is there no update available for Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
Terminal Server Edition with Active Desktop?
Active Desktop is not supported on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
Terminal Server Edition. For more information see Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 186498.

Vulnerability Details
Windows Shell Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0420:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows
Shell launches applications. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability
if a user visited a malicious Web site. If a user is logged on with
administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. However,
user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
Mitigating Factors for Windows Shell Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0420:
In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web site
that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. An
attacker would have no way to force users to visit a malicious Web site.
Instead, an attacker would have to persuade them to visit the Web site,
typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the
attacker's site.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the
same privileges as the user. Users whose accounts are configured to have
fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who
operate with administrative privileges.

Top of section
FAQ for Windows Shell Vulnerability - CAN-2004-0420:
What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is remote code execution vulnerability. If a user is logged on with
administrative privileges, an attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system, including
installing programs; viewing, changing, or deleting data; or creating new
accounts with full privileges. However, user interaction is required to
exploit this vulnerability. Users whose accounts are configured to have
fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who
operate with administrative privileges.
What causes the vulnerability?
The Windows Shell application programming interface (API) supports the
ability to associate a class identifier (CLSID) with a file type. An
attacker could use a CLSID instead of the valid extension for a file type
that could help persuade a user to run a malicious program.
What is Windows Shell application programming interface?
Windows Shell APIs are the programming interfaces that support extensions
of the system~Rs operational environment. For more information about the
Windows Shell application programming interface, visit the following Web
site.
What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the
same privileges as the user. Users whose accounts are configured to have
fewer privileges on the system would be at less risk than users who
operate with administrative privileges.
How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to host a malicious
Web site and then persuade a user to view that Web site. An attacker could
also create an HTML e-mail message that has a specially crafted link, and
then persuade a user to view the HTML e-mail message and then click the
malicious link.
What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
Workstations and terminal servers are primarily at risk. Servers are only
at risk if users who do not have sufficient administrative credentials are
given the ability to log on to servers and to run programs. However, best
practices strongly discourage allowing this.
Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition
critically affected by this vulnerability?
No. Although Windows Millennium Edition does contain the affected
component, the vulnerability is not critical. For more information about
severity ratings, visit the following Web site.
What does the update do?
The update removes the ability to use a CLSID as a file type within
Windows Shell.
When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been
publicly disclosed?
Yes. This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. It has been assigned
Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CAN-2004-0420.
When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports
that this vulnerability was being exploited?
No. Microsoft had seen examples of proof of concept code published
publicly but had not received any information indicating that this
vulnerability had been publicly used to attack customers when this
security bulletin was originally issued.
Does applying this security update help protect customers from the code
that has been published publicly that attempts to exploit this
vulnerability?
Yes. This security update addresses the vulnerability that is currently
being exploited. The vulnerability that has been addressed has been
assigned the Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CAN-2004-0420.
Are there any other steps I should take in addition to applying this patch
to help protect my computer?
Yes. In addition to applying this security update, it is recommended that
users also install the ADODB.stream update that is referenced in Knowledge
Base Article 870669. This update is available from Windows Update and from
the Microsoft Download Center for all supported versions of Windows. While
not a security patch, this update contains a change to the behavior of a
Data Access component in Windows to help protect against attacks that are
made by using Internet Explorer.
Specifically, it disables the ability for the ADODB.Stream object ability
to function within Internet Explorer.

Notes The Windows XP and Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 versions
of this security update are packaged as dual-mode packages, which contain
files for both the original version of Windows XP and Windows XP Service
Pack 1 (SP1). For more information about dual-mode packages, see Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article 328848.
When you install the Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 security
update, the installer checks to see if any of the files that are being
updated on your system have previously been updated by a Microsoft hotfix.
If you have previously installed a hotfix to update one of these files,
the installer copies the RTMQFE files to your system. Otherwise, the
installer copies the RTMGDR files to your system. For more information,
see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 824994.
