Signature for Microsoft IE createTextRange() Vulnerability Has Been Released
BSST (Broadweb Security Service Team) has released a signature in pattern 3.41:
 
#1052276_EXPLOIT IE CreateTextRange overflow attempt
 
This signature is made to defend against the newly discovered critical vulnerability in Microsoft IE. When MS IE employs the createTextRange() DHTML method, IE fails to correctly handle the method and can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 
Moreover, It has been confirmed that a fully patched Microsoft XP SP2 with IE 6.0/ IE 7.0 Beta 2 Preview is affected by this vulnerability. Official patch from Microsoft is still not available yet as of March 27, 2006.
 
NetKeeper users are advised to upgrade their signature patterns to version pattern 3.41 in order to thwart exploits based on this vulnerability
