HTML Render Crashes Idiot Exploiter! <==Slashdot Link
Source Code for the Crashy Thing:
Code: Select all
< html >
< form >
< input type crash >
< /form >
< /html >
Stupid, ain't it?
(spaces between the < and >s just in case by the grace of that Yahweh idiot everyone's M$IE tries to render it despite the <code> tags.

It's probably just debugging code that was left in there by the programmers when they wanted to test crash-recovery stuff. They just forgot to take it out.

BTW is it against policy to publish source code for IE Crash 'Sploits?

That's not source code, that's a chunk of HTML.
HTML crashing browsers is nothing new. NS4 in particular was infamous for this, and Mozilla is not immune to this. Furthermore, this seems intentional on the part of Microsoft (though accidentially left in place).
At any rate, you could have posted a link with substance, like the actual
BugTraq notice.

As I recall, this bug was old news back in 2000.
For that matter, there was also the img=C:\CON\CON exploit for any old Windows 9x box... caused an instant bluescreen.
