And now, your moment of zen:

Microsoft researchers are currently investigating the issue but have seen no evidence that the alleged flaw is currently being used maliciously, the software giant said in a statement sent to SecurityFocus.

Translation: Honey Monkey hasn't seen this, so it must not be in use.

The company also spelled out its policy that flaws should be directly reported to the software maker.

How to list all IP addresses for a computer using JavaScript

Now, let us try to develop a simple script (JavaScript) which shows the technique for retrieving all of the IP addresses for a computer. The entire code for the sample is as follows:

While its been known for over 7 years that Java applets can access a local IP, it seems people are "rediscovering" it. It also seems these same people never heard of LiveConnect, allowing Netscape derived browsers to directly instantiate Java objects. To be fair, this is rather obscure. I only know about because I had a project my freshmen year at GaTech controlling an Applet with JavaScript so this was kind of old hat.

Anyway, as noted this does not works with IE. But I came across this link on how to do it in IE. LiveConnect is not being used, instead a weird ActiveX object is instantiated and queried.

Bio

Billy Hoffman is lead researcher at SPI Dynamics. He first became interested in web security on November 5th, 1955 when he was standing on the edge of a toilet hanging a clock. The porcelain was wet, he slipped, and hit his head on the edge of the sink. When he came to he had a picture in his head of destroying the Internet with JavaScript. Billy is currently writing a book on Ajax security for Addison Wesley.
