    ('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) <TITLE>MSIE:"SaveRef" turns Zone off</TITLE>

    [digest]
    MSIE: you can execute jscript in any zone by saving the reference
    of "(NewWindow).location.assign".
    (content after the "[exp]" section is not directly related to the flaw, so
    skip it if you are in a hurry;)

    [tested]MSIEv6(CN version)
    {IEXPLORE.EXE file version: 6.0.2600.0000}
    {MSHTML.DLL file version: 6.00.2600.0000}

    http://www16.brinkster.com/liudieyu/SaveRef/SaveRef-MyPage.htm
    or
    clik.to/liudieyu ==> SaveRef-MyPage section.

    [exp]
    javascript-protocol URL can cause CSS at client side, so microsoft
    blocked "(NewWindow).location.assign" method(there is no other explanation
    at all). but we can save the reference(mostly the same as 'pointer' in C)
    of "(NewWindow).location.assign" when we can access it, then we can access
    it forever -- regardless of NewWindow's zone, which means we can execute
    jscript in any zone.

    simple, that's all.

    [BTW]
    thanx to :
    0. all knowledge bases
    1."dror shalev", without his "Who Framed IE" demo at
    http://drorshalev.brinkster.net/dev/Search
    and his words, i wouldn't have discovered this flaw.(both "SaveRef" & "Who
    Framed IE" hurt microsoft's heart -- OOP/COM/DCOM ;)
    2."the Pull", his words at
    http://home.austin.rr.com/wiredgoddess/thepull/UnorthodoxBugFinding.txt
    are inspiring&practical.

    [apology]
    i am always late for online issues because of everything around me( one
    example is my parents), but i've never been absent;)
