Windows Server 2003

The kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003, when ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (RDP) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via fragmented router advertisement ICMP packets that trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka "Windows Kernel TCP/IP/ICMP Vulnerability."Show less

The DNS server in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, uses predictable transaction IDs when querying other DNS servers, which allows remote attackers to spoof DNS replies, poison the DNS cache, and facilitate further attack vectors.Show less

Microsoft Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a certain PNG file with a large tEXt chunk that possibly triggers an integer overflow in PNG chunk size handling, as demonstrated by badlycrafted.png.Show less

Integer overflow in the AttemptWrite function in Graphics Rendering Engine (GDI) on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted metafile (image) with a large record length value, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.Show less

Argument injection vulnerability in the Windows Object Packager (packager.exe) in Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2 and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted file with a "/" (slash) character in the filename of the Command Line property, followed by a valid file extension, which causes the command before the slash to be executed, aka "Object Packager Dialogue Spoofing Vulnerability."Show less

The Server Message Block (SMB) driver (MRXSMB.SYS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code by calling the MrxSmbCscIoctlOpenForCopyChunk function with the METHOD_NEITHER method flag and an arbitrary address, possibly for kernel memory, aka the "SMB Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."Show less

Buffer overflow in the plug-in for Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 9 and 10, when used in browsers other than Internet Explorer and set as the default application to handle media files, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTML with an EMBED element containing a long src attribute.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 SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) component of Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition, and the Exchange Routing Engine component of Exchange Server 2003, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious DNS response message containing length values that are not properly validated.Show less

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

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

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

Help and Support Center in Microsoft Windows XP SP1 does not properly validate HCP URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via quotation marks in an hcp:// URL, which are not quoted when constructing the argument list to HelpCtr.exe.Show less

Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Outlook Web Access (OWA), when configured to use NTLM authentication, does not properly reuse HTTP connections, which can cause OWA users to view mailboxes of other users when Kerberos has been disabled as an authentication method for IIS 6.0, e.g. when SharePoint Services 2.0 is installed.Show less

A multi-threaded race condition in the Windows RPC DCOM functionality with the MS03-039 patch installed allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or reboot) by causing two threads to process the same RPC request, which causes one thread to use memory after it has been freed, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0352 (Blaster/Nachi), CVE-2003-0715, and CVE-2003-0528, and as demonstrated by certain exploits against those vulnerabilities.Show less
