From a mailing list:
QuoteThis is a very serious matter. I've found an error in how the IPCONFIG
command handles incorrect command line input.
C:\>ipconfig lksdflkjdsakfl
Error: unrecongnized or incomplete command line.
Clearly the error line is supposed to say "unrecognized". I don't know if
this is an exploitable issue. I've only tested it on Windows XP SP2.
Let's hope Microsoft patches this before it's too late!!
<edit> Apparently the German version of Microsoft Windows does not suffer from this problem. You might consider setting your language to German until a patch comes out:
QuoteC:\>ipconfig lksdflkjdsakfl
Fehler: Unbekannte oder unvollständige Befehlszeile.

Hahahah, that's great.
What the hell? That guy is an idiot.

/me shoots Blaze.
I understood it as a joke. That doesn't make the joke or the person who made it up any less idiotic.

Why? Because you fail to see the humor in it? Your problem.
I find humor in it, it's just TOO stupid.

It's a subjective statement. Calling someone an idiot is too, but it's a much more personal issue...
The only thing I see wrong is they referred to a command line argument as a command line itself. Is that it?
Crap I'm affected by it :(.

No. Look harder.
And they spelled unrecognized wrong?
There you go.
I still don't get it though. Mind explaining?

/me aims a 12-gauge at Joe.
I meant explain why it's supposed to be funny. Go away.
Because it's so stupid..can't you relate?
Ok. I get it now, but don't find it funny, and I'm not sure why this is considered a vuln. Whatever. =p

It's ... not considered a vunerability. That's why it's funny.
From the proportion of people who needed explanation to understand the humor behind this, I think we'd need a lot more shotgun shells than we were planning for, iago.
I can't afford many shells. Can you just get a Goldeneye magnum (or whatever they called it) and line them up single file?

No, the magnum. The one that shoots through people and hits people behind them.
Good idea. Wait, shit..
