A lot of remote exploitable vulns this time. The first vuln I had time to spend on is ms09-057.

The vulnerability lies in query.dll, and could be triggered by passing a malformed url-encoded url to the DecodeUrlEscapes() and DecodeEscapes() functions. Since query.dll it is used by ixsso.dll that could be loaded in a web page as an activex it is possible to exploit the vulnerability by passing a malformed url-encoded url to the SetQueryFromUrl() function.

But hey, there could be different ways to reach the vulnerable code! Somebody should scan windows dll and exe to look for imports from query.dll :)
