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.
The NetBT Name Service (NBNS) for NetBIOS in Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 may include random memory in a response to a NBNS query, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
The getCanonicalPath function in Windows NT 4.0 may free memory that it does not own and cause heap corruption, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via requests that cause a long file name to be passed to getCanonicalPath, as demonstrated on the IBM JVM using a long string to the java.io.getCanonicalPath Java method.
Buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows local users to gain privileges by causing certain error messages to be passed to a debugger.
Windows NT 4.0 generates predictable random TCP initial sequence numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to perform spoofing and session hijacking.
Memory leak in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent (snmp.exe) for Windows NT 4.0 before Service Pack 4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of SNMP packets with Object Identifiers (OIDs) that cannot be decoded.
Windows NT 4.0 SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), possibly via malformed inputs or packets, such as those generated by a Linux smbmount command that was compiled on the Linux 2.0.29 kernel but executed on Linux 2.0.25.
The Windows NT RPC service allows remote attackers to conduct a denial of service using spoofed malformed RPC packets which generate an error message that is sent to the spoofed host, potentially setting up a loop, aka Snork.
A Windows NT user can use SUBST to map a drive letter to a folder, which is not unmapped after the user logs off, potentially allowing that user to modify the location of folders accessed by later users.
Windows NT RRAS and RAS clients cache a user's password even if the user has not selected the "Save password" option.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Phone Dialer (dialer.exe), via a malformed dialer entry in the dialer.ini file.
Local users in Windows NT can obtain administrator privileges by changing the KnownDLLs list to reference malicious programs.
Denial of service through Winpopup using large user names.
The WINS server in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 before SP4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process termination) via invalid UDP frames to port 137 (NETBIOS Name Service), as demonstrated via a flood of random packets.
Denial of service in Windows NT DNS servers through malicious packet which contains a response to a query that wasn't made.
Denial of service in RPCSS.EXE program (RPC Locator) in Windows NT.
Denial of service in Windows NT messenger service through a long username.
A later variation on the Teardrop IP denial of service attack, a.k.a. Teardrop-2.
Teardrop IP denial of service.
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 hosts allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unavailable connections) by sending multiple SMB SMBnegprots requests but not reading the response that is sent back.
Windows NT allows remote attackers to list all users in a domain by obtaining the domain SID with the LsaQueryInformationPolicy policy function via a null session and using the SID to list the users.
Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small number and requesting large amounts of data, which generates more packets with less TCP-level data that amplify network traffic and consume more server CPU to process.
Microsoft Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending a flood of empty TCP/IP packets with the ACK and FIN bits set to the NetBIOS port (TCP/139), as demonstrated by stream3.
The RPC component in Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disabled RPC service) via a malformed packet to the RPC Endpoint Mapper at TCP port 135, which triggers a null pointer dereference.
Two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) up to and including build 5.0.3805, as used in Internet Explorer and other applications, allow remote attackers to read files via a Java applet with a spoofed location in the CODEBASE parameter in the APPLET tag, possibly due to a parsing error.
Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) build 5.0.3805 and earlier allows remote attackers to determine a local user's username via a Java applet that accesses the user.dir system property, aka "User.dir Exposure Vulnerability."
The system root folder of Microsoft Windows 2000 has default permissions of Everyone group with Full access (Everyone:F) and is in the search path when locating programs during login or application launch from the desktop, which could allow attackers to gain privileges as other users via Trojan horse programs.
Remote Data Protocol (RDP) version 5.0 in Microsoft Windows 2000 and RDP 5.1 in Windows XP does not encrypt the checksums of plaintext session data, which could allow a remote attacker to determine the contents of encrypted sessions via sniffing, aka "Weak Encryption in RDP Protocol."
IIS 4.0 allows local users to bypass the "User cannot change password" policy for Windows NT by directly calling .htr password changing programs in the /iisadmpwd directory, including (1) aexp2.htr, (2) aexp2b.htr, (3) aexp3.htr , or (4) aexp4.htr.
Heap-based buffer overflow in winhlp32.exe in Windows NT, Windows 2000 through SP4, Windows XP through SP2, and Windows 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .hlp file.
