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 default permissions for the Cryptography\Offload registry key used by the OffloadModExpo in Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to obtain compromise the cryptographic keys of other users.

After an unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0, an installation file could include sensitive information such as the local Administrator password.

The unattended installation of Windows 2000 with the OEMPreinstall option sets insecure permissions for the All Users and Default Users directories.

Microsoft Windows Media License Manager allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a malformed request that causes the manager to halt, aka the "Malformed Media License Request" Vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows 9x operating systems allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via a pathname that includes file device names, aka the "DOS Device in Path Name" vulnerability.

Microsoft email clients in Outlook, Exchange, and Windows Messaging automatically respond to Read Receipt and Delivery Receipt tags, which could allow an attacker to flood a mail system with responses by forging a Read Receipt request that is redirected to a large distribution list.

The Windows Media server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of client handshake packets that are sent in an improper sequence, aka the "Misordered Windows Media Services Handshake" vulnerability.

Windows NT Autorun executes the autorun.inf file on non-removable media, which allows local attackers to specify an alternate program to execute when other users access a drive.

The installation for Windows 2000 does not activate the Administrator password until the system has rebooted, which allows remote attackers to connect to the ADMIN$ share without a password until the reboot occurs.

The Windows NT scheduler uses the drive mapping of the interactive user who is currently logged onto the system, which allows the local user to gain privileges by providing a Trojan horse batch file in place of the original batch file.

The rdisk utility in Microsoft Terminal Server Edition and Windows NT 4.0 stores registry hive information in a temporary file with permissions that allow local users to read it, aka the "RDISK Registry Enumeration File" vulnerability.

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.

A Windows NT system does not clear the system page file during shutdown, which might allow sensitive information to be recorded.

NtImpersonateClientOfPort local procedure call in Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to gain privileges, aka "Spoofed LPC Port Request."

Memory leak in SNMP agent in Windows NT 4.0 before SP5 allows remote attackers to conduct a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a large number of queries.

Windows 95 uses weak encryption for the password list (.pwl) file used when password caching is enabled, which allows local users to gain privileges by decrypting the passwords.

Windows 95, when Remote Administration and File Sharing for NetWare Networks is enabled, creates a share (C$) when an administrator logs in remotely, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by mapping the network drive.

Windows NT 4.0 does not properly shut down invalid named pipe RPC connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a series of connections containing malformed data, aka the "Named Pipes Over RPC" vulnerability.

Windows NT 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via extra source routing data such as (1) a Routing Information Field (RIF) field with a hop count greater than 7, or (2) a list containing duplicate Token Ring IDs.
