IE Exploit?

[Slater]

Does anyone have any more information in IE Exploit (as reported in Spyware Blaster)?

The CLSIDs are:

F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B
72C24DD5-D70A-438B-8A42-98424B88AFB8

It seems that some of the machines at my company have this IE Exploit, but when I run HijackThis everything looks normal.

When I search Google for the first CLSID, I get snippets of Microsoft VM exploit code from various security sites that references the CLSID. I have verified that the affected machines are on the latest MS VM.

When Google the second CLSID, I get references to the Windows Script Host Shell Object, also legitimate.

Is it possible that SB got some bogus information and that these are legit CLSIDs?

Or does SB add these CLSIDs killbits to PREVENT an exploit? For example, I found some java code on the Net that can add shortcuts to the desktop just by browsing an html page. The code contained the second CLSID. Is this why the "IE Exploit" killbits are in SB?

Any help or more information would be appreciated...

Here are 3 of the HJT logs:

Or does SB add these CLSIDs killbits to PREVENT an exploit? For example, I found some java code on the Net that can add shortcuts to the desktop just by browsing an html page. The code contained the second CLSID. Is this why the "IE Exploit" killbits are in SB?

You're exactly right here - they were added to help prevent various exploits.

So there's no need to worry. But you can sleep a little more soundly at night.

So it appears that there are 3 types of entries in SB: cookie-blocks, killbits for actual spyware controls, and "anti-exploit" killbits.

Is the IE Exploit the only 2 anti-exploit killbits currently? Is there any more of these exploit-blocking CLSIDs that I should know about?

The reason I am asking is because I integrated a javascript "spyware scanner" in the main page a my corporate Intranet webpage by looking for CLSIDs loaded on client machines. The IE Exploit killbits were setting off false positives on machines not because they were infected by the IE Exploit spyware like I thought, but rather because they were missing the "anti-exploit killbit" meant to prevent the IE Exploit.

Therefore it would be helpful to know what other non-real-spyware-killbits there are so I can only scan for actual spyware/adware in my scanner.

Thanks so much!

Currently those should be the only two "anti-exploit" killbits.

I'll make sure to mark any future exploit protections similarly.

Awesome, that would help out a ton.

Thanks!
