Windows 2000

The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) component of Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via XPAT patterns, possibly related to improper length validation and an "unchecked buffer," leading to off-by-one and heap-based buffer overflows.Show less

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Explorer on Windows XP SP1, WIndows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me may allow remote malicious servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long share names, as demonstrated using Samba.Show less

Unknown vulnerability in the Graphics Rendering Engine processes of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) Windows Metafile (WMF) or (2) Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image formats that involve "an unchecked buffer."Show less

The Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) subsystem of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to access kernel memory and gain privileges via a malicious program that modified some system structures in a way that is not properly validated by privileged operating system functions.Show less

"Shatter" style vulnerability in the Window Management application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges by using certain API functions to change properties of privileged programs using the SetWindowLong and SetWIndowLongPtr API functions.Show less

Network Dynamic Data Exchange (NetDDE) services for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code or locally gain privileges via a malicious message or application that involves an "unchecked buffer," possibly a buffer overflow.Show less

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Msinfo32.exe might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long filename in the msinfo_file command line parameter. NOTE: this issue might not cross security boundaries, so it may be REJECTED in the future.Show less

Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2, and other versions including 5.01 and 5.5, allows remote attackers to install arbitrary programs via a web page that uses certain styles and the AnchorClick behavior, popup windows, and drag-and-drop capabilities to drop the program in the local startup folder, as demonstrated by "wottapoop.html".Show less

TCP, when using a large Window Size, makes it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP.Show less

Utility Manager in Windows 2000 launches winhlp32.exe while Utility Manager is running with raised privileges, which allows local users to gain system privileges via a "Shatter" style attack that sends a Windows message to cause Utility Manager to launch winhlp32 by directly accessing the context sensitive help and bypassing the GUI, then sending another message to winhlp32 in order to open a user-selected file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0908.Show less

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Task Scheduler for Windows 2000 and XP, and Internet Explorer 6 on Windows NT 4.0, allows local or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .job file containing long parameters, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer and accessing a .job file on an anonymous share.Show less

IDirectPlay4 Application Programming Interface (API) of Microsoft DirectPlay 7.0a thru 9.0b, as used in Windows Server 2003 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.Show less

Heap-based buffer overflow in the HtmlHelp program (hh.exe) in HTML Help for Microsoft Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .CHM file with a large length field, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1041.Show less

The Windows Media Player control in Microsoft Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the local computer zone via an ASX filename that contains javascript, which is executed in the local context in a preview panel.Show less

The DCOM RPC interface for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause network communications via an "alter context" call that contains additional data, aka the "Object Identity Vulnerability."Show less

The Negotiate Security Software Provider (SSP) interface in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash from null dereference) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted SPNEGO NegTokenInit request during authentication protocol selection.Show less
