SYMPTOMS
The Windows XP Help and Support center includes a feature that runs when the Found New Hardware Wizard completes. This feature prompts you to send hardware profile information to Microsoft so that you can receive information about how to obtain the appropriate driver, or obtain support for the hardware that you installed. If you agree to send this data to Microsoft, Help and Support uses the Uplddrvinfo.htm file to send your hardware profile information to the Microsoft Driver Feedback server by using the Upload Manager service.
There is a security vulnerability in the JScript code in the Uplddrvinfo.htm file that might permit an attacker to delete files on your computer by using the hcp:// pluggable protocol to load the Uplddrvinfo.htm file.
