Windows 2000

The VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) emulation environment for MS-DOS applications in Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to read the first megabyte of memory and possibly obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by dumper.asm.Show less

The 802.11 wireless client in certain operating systems including Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 does not warn the user when (1) it establishes an association with a station in ad hoc (aka peer-to-peer) mode or (2) a station in ad hoc mode establishes an association with it, which allows remote attackers to put unexpected wireless communication into place.Show less

Heap-based buffer overflow in T2EMBED.DLL in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1, Windows 98, and Windows ME allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an e-mail message or web page with a crafted Embedded Open Type (EOT) web font that triggers the overflow during decompression.Show less

An unspecified Microsoft WMF parsing application, as used in Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 on Windows 2000 SP4, and 5.5 SP2 on Windows Millennium, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute code via a crafted WMF file with a manipulated WMF header size, possibly involving an integer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-4560, and aka "WMF Image Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability."Show less

Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine (GRE) allows remote attackers to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service (crash) via a WMF file containing (1) ExtCreateRegion or (2) ExtEscape function calls with arguments with inconsistent lengths.Show less

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a certain combination of a malformed HTML file and a CSS file that triggers a null dereference, probably related to rendering of a DIV element that contains a malformed IMG tag, as demonstrated by IEcrash.htm and IEcrash.rar.Show less

The thread termination routine in the kernel for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 (NTOSKRNL.EXE) allows local users to modify kernel memory and execution flow via steps in which a terminating thread causes Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) entries to free the wrong data, aka the "Windows Kernel Vulnerability."Show less

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third parties. Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, and 2003 allows local users to kill a writable process by using the CreateRemoteThread function with certain arguments on a process that has been opened using the OpenProcess function, possibly involving an invalid address for the start routine. NOTE: followup posts have disputed this issue, saying that if a user already has privileges to write to a process, then other functions could be called or the process could be terminated using PROCESS_TERMINATEShow less

The SynAttackProtect protection in Microsoft Windows 2003 before SP1 and Windows 2000 before SP4 with Update Roll-up uses a hash of predictable data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a flood of SYN packets that produce identical hash values, which slows down the hash table lookups.Show less

Unspecified vulnerability in the Graphics Rendering Engine (GDI32.DLL) in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1, related to "An unchecked buffer" and possibly buffer overflows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) format image, aka "Windows Metafile Vulnerability."Show less

Multiple integer overflows in the Graphics Rendering Engine (GDI32.DLL) in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format images that lead to heap-based buffer overflows, as demonstrated using MRBP16::bCheckRecord.Show less

PNP_GetDeviceList (upnp_getdevicelist) in UPnP for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 and earlier, and possibly Windows XP SP1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a DCE RPC request that specifies a large output buffer size, a variant of CVE-2006-6296, and a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2120.Show less

The FTP client in Windows XP SP1 and Server 2003, and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4, when "Enable Folder View for FTP Sites" is enabled and the user manually initiates a file transfer, allows user-assisted, remote FTP servers to overwrite files in arbitrary locations via crafted filenames.Show less

Windows Shell for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a shortcut (.lnk) file with long font properties that lead to a buffer overflow in the Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem (CSRSS), a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2118.Show less

Windows Shell for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted shortcut (.lnk) file with long font properties that lead to a buffer overflow when the user views the file's properties using Windows Explorer, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2122.Show less

Web View in Windows Explorer on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 does not properly handle certain HTML characters in preview fields, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.Show less

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Plug and Play (PnP) service (UMPNPMGR.DLL) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, and XP SP1 and SP2, allows remote or local authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of "\" (backslash) characters in a registry key name, which triggers the overflow in a wsprintfW function call.Show less

Buffer overflow in Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), as used in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Exchange Server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when CDOSYS or CDOEX processes an e-mail message with a large header name, as demonstrated using the "Content-Type" string.Show less

The Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and Sp2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code due to an "unchecked buffer" when processing certain crafted network messages.Show less

The MIDL_user_allocate function in the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) proxy (MSDTCPRX.DLL) allocates a 4K page of memory regardless of the required size, which allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations using an incorrect size value that is provided to the NdrAllocate function, which writes management data to memory outside of the allocated buffer.Show less
