The Client-Server Run-time Subsystem in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted file manifest within an application, aka "File Manifest Corruption Vulnerability."

The Execute method in the ADODB.Connection 2.7 and 2.8 ActiveX control objects (ADODB.Connection.2.7 and ADODB.Connection.2.8) in the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5 SP3, 2.7 SP1, 2.8, and 2.8 SP1 does not properly track freed memory when the second argument is a BSTR, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain strings in the second and third arguments.

Integer overflow in the ReadWideString function in agentdpv.dll in Microsoft Agent on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large length value in an .ACF file, which results in a heap-based buffer overflow.

The MIDLuserallocate 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.

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.

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."

Distributed Transaction Controller in Microsoft Windows allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (MSDTC service exception and exit) via an "unexpected protocol command during the reconnection request," which is not properly handled by the Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) functionality.

Distributed Transaction Controller in Microsoft Windows allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (MSDTC service hang) via a crafted Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) message that causes DTC to repeatedly connect to a target IP and port number after an error occurs, aka the "Distributed TIP Vulnerability."

COM+ in Microsoft Windows does not properly "create and use memory structures," which allows local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Heap-based buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 and XP SP1, with versions the MS06-042 patch before 20060912, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long URL in a GZIP-encoded website that was the target of an HTTP redirect, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-3869.

The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SMBCOMTRANSACTION SMB message that contains a string without null character termination, which leads to a NULL dereference in the ExecuteTransaction function, possibly related to an "SMB PIPE," aka the "Mailslot DOS" vulnerability. NOTE: the name "Mailslot DOS" was derived from incomplete initial research; the vulnerability is not associated with a mailslot.

Buffer overflow in the Server Service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers, including anonymous users, to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1314.

Buffer overflow in Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) on Windows XP and 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (repeated crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a .url file with an InternetShortcut tag containing a long URL and a large number of "file:" specifiers.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Server Service (SRV.SYS driver) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, Server 2003 up to SP1, and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted first-class Mailslot messages that triggers memory corruption and bypasses size restrictions on second-class Mailslot messages.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, the advisory is from a reliable source.

The HTML Help ActiveX control (Hhctrl.ocx) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP3, XP SP2 and Professional, 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified functions, related to uninitialized parameters.
