CVSS v3.1 |
| IDirectPlay4 Application Programming Interface (API) of Microsoft DirectPlay 7.0a thru 9.0b, as used in Windows Server 2003 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet. |
| Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Explorer on Windows XP SP1, WIndows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me may allow remote malicious servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long share names, as demonstrated using Samba. |
| 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 Windows help system can allow a local user to execute commands as another user by editing a table of contents metafile with a .CNT extension and modifying the topic action to include the commands to be executed when the .hlp file is accessed. |
| The document processing application used by the Windows Shell in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying the CLSID stored in a file so that it is processed by HTML Application Host (MSHTA), as demonstrated using a Microsoft Word document. |
| Buffer overflow in the SHGetPathFromIDList function of the Serv-U FTP server allows attackers to cause a denial of service by performing a LIST command on a malformed .lnk file. |
| The networking software in Windows 95 and Windows 98 allows remote attackers to execute commands via a long file name string, aka the "File Access URL" vulnerability. |
| Various TCP/IP stacks and network applications allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by flooding a target host with TCP connection attempts and completing the TCP/IP handshake without maintaining the connection state on the attacker host, aka the "NAPTHA" class of vulnerabilities. NOTE: this candidate may change significantly as the security community discusses the technical nature of NAPTHA and learns more about the affected applications. This candidate is at a higher level of abstraction than is typical for CVE. |
| Buffer overflow in Windows Shell (used as the Windows Desktop) allows local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a custom URL handler that has not been removed for an application that has been improperly uninstalled. |
| 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." |
| Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2, and other versions including 5.01 and 5.5, allows remote attackers to install arbitrary programs via a web page that uses certain styles and the AnchorClick behavior, popup windows, and drag-and-drop capabilities to drop the program in the local startup folder, as demonstrated by "wottapoop.html". |
| The Windows Animated Cursor (ANI) capability in Windows NT, Windows 2000 through SP4, Windows XP through SP1, and Windows 2003 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) the frame number set to zero, which causes an invalid memory address to be used and leads to a kernel crash, or (2) the rate number set to zero, which leads to resource exhaustion and hang. |
| Microsoft JScript 5.1, 5.5, and 5.6 on Windows 2000 SP4, and 5.6 on Windows XP, Server 2003, Windows 98 and Windows Me, will "release objects early" in certain cases, which results in memory corruption and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. |
| The Windows Animated Cursor (ANI) capability in Windows NT, Windows 2000 through SP4, Windows XP through SP1, and Windows 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the AnimationHeaderBlock length field, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. |
| A legacy credential caching mechanism used in Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems allows attackers to read plaintext network passwords. |
| A remote attacker can disable the virus warning mechanism in Microsoft Excel 97. |
| DHCP clients with ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) enabled allow remote attackers to modify their default routes. |
| Multihomed Windows systems allow a remote attacker to bypass IP source routing restrictions via a malformed packet with IP options, aka the "Spoofed Route Pointer" vulnerability. |
| Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, when configured with multiple TCP/IP stacks bound to the same MAC address, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via a certain ICMP echo (ping) packet, which causes all stacks to send a ping response, aka TCP Chorusing. |
| Buffer overflow in Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF) reader allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed control word. |
