[Windows] Vulnerability : Windows XP Explorer Executes Arbitrary Code in Folders

A new vulnerability has been discovered :

http://www.securitytracker.com/alerts/2004/Jan/1008843.html

I have tested the sample which allow you to test safely this exploit, and no sandboxe software warned me about the code beeing executed, because it relies on your main browser and windows explorer, which are obviously both allowed.

Some people were asking for proof of a code not blocked by sandboxe softwares, here is one.

We can easily imagine that in the future this vulnerability will be used by many worms...

Be aware that a folder now could not be a folder.

Where did you download the exploit? I went to http://www.malware.com/my.pics.zip and didn't find it.
