Windows 2000

The default configuration of the Dr. Watson program in Windows NT and Windows 2000 generates user.dmp crash dump files with world-readable permissions, which could allow a local user to gain access to sensitive information.Show less

Windows 2000 allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by setting a hardware breakpoint that is handled using global debug registers, which could cause other processes to terminate due to an exception, and allow hijacking of resources such as named pipes.Show less

Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Java clients allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Java applet that opens a large number of UDP sockets, which prevents the host from establishing any additional UDP connections, and possibly causes a crash.Show less

The default permissions for the SNMP Parameters registry key in Windows NT 4.0 allows remote attackers to read and possibly modify the SNMP community strings to obtain sensitive information or modify network configuration, aka one of the "Registry Permissions" vulnerabilities.Show less

The "Configure Your Server" tool in Microsoft 2000 domain controllers installs a blank password for the Directory Service Restore Mode, which allows attackers with physical access to the controller to install malicious programs, aka the "Directory Service Restore Mode Password" vulnerability.Show less

Web Extender Client (WEC) in Microsoft Office 2000, Windows 2000, and Windows Me does not properly process Internet Explorer security settings for NTLM authentication, which allows attackers to obtain NTLM credentials and possibly obtain the password, aka the "Web Client NTLM Authentication" vulnerability.Show less

The Input Method Editor (IME) in the Simplified Chinese version of Windows 2000 does not disable access to privileged functionality that should normally be restricted, which allows local users to gain privileges, aka the "Simplified Chinese IME State Recognition" vulnerability.Show less

Buffer overflows in Microsoft Network Monitor (Netmon) allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long Browser Name in a CIFS Browse Frame, a long SNMP community name, or a long username or filename in an SMB session, aka the "Netmon Protocol Parsing" vulnerability. NOTE: It is highly likely that this candidate will be split into multiple candidates.Show less

Buffer overflow in the System Monitor ActiveX control in Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long LogFileName parameter in HTML source code, aka the "ActiveX Parameter Validation" vulnerability.Show less

Microsoft Windows 2000 before Service Pack 2 (SP2), when running in a non-Windows 2000 domain and using NTLM authentication, and when credentials of an account are locally cached, allows local users to bypass account lockout policies and make an unlimited number of login attempts, aka the "Domain Account Lockout" vulnerability.Show less

The Windows 2000 telnet client attempts to perform NTLM authentication by default, which allows remote attackers to capture and replay the NTLM challenge/response via a telnet:// URL that points to the malicious server, aka the "Windows 2000 Telnet Client NTLM Authentication" vulnerability.Show less

The web-based folder display capability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 on Windows 98 allows local users to insert Trojan horse programs by modifying the Folder.htt file and using the InvokeVerb method in the ShellDefView ActiveX control to specify a default execute option for the first file that is listed in the folder.Show less
