The default configuration of Microsoft Windows uses the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) without static WPAD entries, which might allow remote attackers to intercept web traffic by registering a proxy server using WINS or DNS, then responding to WPAD requests, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer. NOTE: it could be argued that if an attacker already has control over WINS/DNS, then web traffic could already be intercepted by modifying WINS or DNS records, so this would not cross privilege boundaries and would not be a vulnerability. It has also been reported that DHCP is an alternate attack vector.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain malformed HTML, possibly involving applet and base tags without required arguments, which triggers a null pointer dereference in mshtml.dll.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 SP2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a table element with a CSS attribute that sets the position, which triggers an "unhandled exception" in mshtml.dll.

SQL injection vulnerability in directory.php in Super Link Exchange Script 1.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the cat parameter.

Mathcad 12 through 13.1 allows local users to bypass the security features by directly accessing or editing the XML representation of the worksheet with a text editor or other program, which allows attackers to (1) bypass password protection by replacing the password field with a hash of a known password, (2) modify timestamps to avoid detection of modifications, (3) remove locks by removing the "is-locked" attribute, and (4) view locked data, which is stored in plaintext.

The IMAP4 service in MERCUR Messaging 2005 before Service Pack 4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a message with a long subject field.

The ReadDirectoryChangesW API function on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista does not check permissions for child objects, which allows local users to bypass permissions by opening a directory with LIST (READ) access and using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor changes of files that do not have LIST permissions, which can be leveraged to determine filenames, access times, and other sensitive information.

Ezboo webstats, possibly 3.0.3, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain access via a direct request to (1) update.php and (2) config.php.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Trend Micro ServerProtect for Windows and EMC 5.58, and for Network Appliance Filer 5.61 and 5.62, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted RPC requests to TmRpcSrv.dll that trigger overflows when calling the (1) CMON_NetTestConnection, (2) CMON_ActiveUpdate, and (3) CMON_ActiveRollback functions in (a) StCommon.dll, and (4) ENG_SetRealTimeScanConfigInfo and (5) ENG_SendEMail functions in (b) eng50.dll.

The OLE Dialog component in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and 2003 SP1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an RTF file with a malformed OLE object that triggers memory corruption.

Double free vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista allows local users to gain privileges by calling the MessageBox function with a MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION message with crafted data, which sends a HardError message to Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem (CSRSS) process, which is not properly handled when invoking the UserHardError and GetHardErrorText functions in WINSRV.DLL.

Buffer overflow in Quintessential Player 4.50.1.82 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) M3u or (2) M3u-8 file; or a (3) crafted PLS file with a long value in the (a) NumberofEntries, (b) Length (aka Length1), (c) Filename (aka File1), (d) Title (aka Title1) field, or other unspecified fields.

Unspecified vulnerability in Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 running Active Directory allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by a certain VulnDisco Pack module. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained from third party information. As of 20061116, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, since the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the disclosure is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Indexing Service in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, when the Encoding option is set to Auto Select, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a UTF-7 encoded URL, which is injected into an error message whose charset is set to UTF-7.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Winlogon in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, when SafeDllSearchMode is disabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious DLL in the UserProfile directory, aka "User Profile Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Stack overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by creating an NMSA.ASFSourceMediaDescription.1 ActiveX object with a long dispValue property.

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Small Business Server 2003 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IP stack hang) via a continuous stream of packets on TCP port 135 that have incorrect TCP header checksums and random numbers in certain TCP header fields, as demonstrated by the Achilles Windows Attack Tool. NOTE: the researcher reports that the Microsoft Security Response Center has stated "Our investigation which has included code review, review of the TCPDump, and attempts on reproing the issue on multiple fresh installs of various Windows Operating Systems have all resulted in non confirmation.

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.

Buffer overflow in the Routing and Remote Access service (RRAS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated or authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain crafted "RPC related requests," aka the "RRAS Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in the Remote Access Connection Manager service (RASMAN) service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated or authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain crafted "RPC related requests," that lead to registry corruption and stack corruption, aka the "RASMAN Registry Corruption Vulnerability."
