Windows Vista

Microsoft Windows XP and Vista overwrites ARP table entries included in gratuitous ARP, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of network access) by sending a gratuitous ARP for the address of the Vista host.Show less

The LLTD Mapper in Microsoft Windows Vista does not properly gather responses to EMIT packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mapping failure) by omitting an ACK response, which triggers an XML syntax error.Show less

The LLTD Responder in Microsoft Windows Vista does not send the Mapper a response to a DISCOVERY packet if another host has sent a spoofed response first, which allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary hosts via a network-based race condition, aka the "Total Spoof" attack.Show less

The LLTD Mapper in Microsoft Windows Vista allows remote attackers to spoof hosts, and nonexistent bridge relationships, into the network topology map by using a MAC address that differs from the MAC address provided in the Real Source field of the LLTD BASE header of a HELLO packet, aka the "Spoof on Bridge" attack.Show less

The LLTD Mapper in Microsoft Windows Vista does not verify that an IP address in a TLV type 0x07 field in a HELLO packet corresponds to a valid IP address for the local network, which allows remote attackers to trick users into communicating with an external host by sending a HELLO packet with the MW characteristic and a spoofed TLV type 0x07 field, aka the "Spoof and Management URL IP Redirect" attack.Show less

The ReadDirectoryChangesW API function on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista does not check permissions for child objects, which allows local users to bypass permissions by opening a directory with LIST (READ) access and using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor changes of files that do not have LIST permissions, which can be leveraged to determine filenames, access times, and other sensitive information.Show less

A certain ActiveX control in sapi.dll (aka the Speech API) in Speech Components in Microsoft Windows Vista, when the Speech Recognition feature is enabled, allows user-assisted remote attackers to delete arbitrary files, and conduct other unauthorized activities, via a web page with an embedded sound object that contains voice commands to an enabled microphone, allowing for interaction with Windows Explorer.Show less

Double free vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista allows local users to gain privileges by calling the MessageBox function with a MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION message with crafted data, which sends a HardError message to Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem (CSRSS) process, which is not properly handled when invoking the UserHardError and GetHardErrorText functions in WINSRV.DLL.Show less
