Re: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 09.22.04 - Sophos Small Business Suite Reserved D



Hi,

The following command will successfully copy a file to the reserved device name 'aux' on the C:\
drive:

copy source \\.\C:\aux


I did that using the DOS prompt (using a plain text file as source). Then, opening Windows Explorer, I tried opening the properties window by right-clicking the aux file... however, this caused explorer to crash.

I tested this issue on two systems running Windows 2000 Professional. I haven't been able to test it on any other versions of Windows. Anybody else noticed this?

regards,

Lise
