A privilege elevation vulnerability exists in the POSIX subsystem. This vulnerability could allow a logged on user to take complete control of the system.
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 Messenger Service for Windows NT through Server 2003 does not properly verify the length of the message, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) interface in the RPCSS Service allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed DCERPC DCOM object activation request packet with modified length fields, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0352 (Blaster/Nachi) and CVE-2003-0528.
The Authenticode capability in Microsoft Windows NT through Server 2003 does not prompt the user to download and install ActiveX controls when the system is low on memory, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without user approval.
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.
Buffer overflow in a function in User32.dll on Windows NT through Server 2003 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long (1) LBDIR messages to ListBox or (2) CBDIR messages to ComboBox controls in a privileged application.
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.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) interface in the RPCSS Service allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed RPC request with a long filename parameter, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0352 (Blaster/Nachi) and CVE-2003-0715.
Buffer overflow in a certain DCOM interface for RPC in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed message, as exploited by the Blaster/MSblast/LovSAN and Nachi/Welchia worms.
Buffer overflow in the SMB capability for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, and NT allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an SMB packet that specifies a smaller buffer length than is required.
Buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows local users to gain privileges by causing certain error messages to be passed to a debugger.
Integer overflow in JsArrayFunctionHeapSort function used by Windows Script Engine for JScript (JScript.dll) on various Windows operating system allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious web page or HTML e-mail that uses a large array index value that enables a heap-based buffer overflow attack.
Buffer overflow in the RPC Locator service for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an RPC call to the service containing certain parameter information.
NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM.EXE) in Windows 2000, NT and XP does not verify user execution permissions for 16-bit executable files, which allows local users to bypass the loader and execute arbitrary programs.
The default configuration for the domain name resolver for Microsoft Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP sets the QueryIpMatching parameter to 0, which causes Windows to accept DNS updates from hosts that it did not query, which allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache.
The Recycle Bin utility in Windows NT and Windows 2000 allows local users to read or modify files by creating a subdirectory with the victim's SID in the recycler directory, aka the "Recycle Bin Creation" vulnerability.
NtImpersonateClientOfPort local procedure call in Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to gain privileges, aka "Spoofed LPC Port Request."
Buffer overflows in Windows NT 4.0 print spooler allow remote attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via a malformed spooler request.
The Windows NT 4.0 print spooler allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands due to inappropriate permissions that allow the user to specify an alternate print provider.
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 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.
By default, DNS servers on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server cache glue records received from non-delegated name servers, which allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache via spoofed DNS responses.
Windows 2000 and Windows NT allows local users to cause a denial of service (reboot) by executing a command at the command prompt and pressing the F7 and enter keys several times while the command is executing, possibly related to an exception handling error in csrss.exe.
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.
Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a allows a local user with write access to winnt/system32 to cause a denial of service (crash in lsass.exe) by running the NT4ALL exploit program in 'SPECIAL' mode.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Visual Studio RAD Support sub-component of FrontPage Server Extensions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long registration request (URL) to fp30reg.dll.
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.
