Windows Vista Privilege Escalation Vulnerability - 11/29/2009

demonstrates a problem with Vista SP2 where opening a program that requires elevation and asks to open a browser window can expose the user to Internet Explorer Protected Mode being Off even when the user has set the program to operate with Protected Mode On, by default. What is even more worrisome is that Internet Explorer 8 does NOT show whether Protected Mode is On or Off. So much for IE8 being a critical update, huh? Shame on you, Microsoft! ... microsoft windows vista vulnerability ...
