Windows 2008 SP2 RC2 & Windows 7 Pro SP1 Explorer Go Byebye :P
This exploit is a directory traversal vulnerability in Windows 2008 SP2 RC2 and Windows 7 Pro SP1. It allows an attacker to delete files and directories outside of the intended directory. The exploit is triggered by creating a directory named 'trigger_alt' and a subdirectory named '....' in the root directory. Then, the attacker can use the SHFileOperation function to delete the directory and its contents.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated to prevent directory traversal attacks.
