This advisory is rather useless without the actual .reg file information. It's
also rather asinine, since any content filter can be "bypassed" in this manner
by simply encrypting a ZIP, RAR, or the archive of your choosing. This is the
equivalent of saying "we have found a vulnerability in the Logitech wireless
mouse, whereby if you double click to execute a malicious file, your system
becomes infected. The vendor has advised us that we have a fundamental problem
understanding how the internet and computers in general function. The
workaround is to remove the batteries from the wireless mouse"
I'm quite disappointed in the recent lack of quality in Bugtraq's entries. Next
we'll have end-users submitting bugs because their CDROM isn't a
fully-functional coaster for their ale.
