| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (KB905495) for 'Vulnerability in the Windows FTP Client' has not been applied. The Windows FTP Client in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 could allow a remote attacker to modify the intended destination location for a file transfer when a client has manually chosen to transfer a file by using FTP, caused by improper validation of file names that are received from FTP servers. An attacker who exploited this vulnerability could save files to specific locations on an affected system. These files could allow other attacks. For example, an attacker could save an executable file in the ¡°Startup¡± folder. Then, the transferred file would run the next time the user logs on.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
