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.

In Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000, a trusting domain that receives authorization information from a trusted domain does not verify that the trusted domain is authoritative for all listed SIDs, which allows remote attackers to gain Domain Administrator privileges on the trusting domain by injecting SIDs from untrusted domains into the authorization data that comes from from the trusted domain.

Buffer overflow in telnet server in Windows 2000 and Interix 2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed protocol options.

Buffer overflow in SNMP agent service in Windows 95/98/98SE, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a malformed management request. NOTE: this candidate may be split or merged with other candidates. This and other PROTOS-related candidates, especially CVE-2002-0012 and CVE-2002-0013, will be updated when more accurate information is available.

SMTP service in (1) Microsoft Windows 2000 and (2) Internet Mail Connector (IMC) in Exchange Server 5.5 does not properly handle responses to NTLM authentication, which allows remote attackers to perform mail relaying via an SMTP AUTH command using null session credentials.

SMTP service in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, and Exchange 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a command with a malformed data transfer (BDAT) request.

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 stores cleartext authentication information in memory, which could allow attackers to obtain usernames and passwords by executing a process that is allocated the same memory page after termination of a RunAs command. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that administrative privileges are already required to exploit it, and the original researcher did not respond to requests for additional information

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 only creates one session instance at a time, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (RunAs hang) by creating a named pipe session with the authentication server without any request for service. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, however the vendor also presents a scenario in which other users could be affected if running on a Terminal Server. Therefore this is a vulnerability.

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 allows local users to create a spoofed named pipe when the service is stopped, then capture cleartext usernames and passwords when clients connect to the service. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that administrative privileges are already required to exploit it

Win32k.sys (aka Graphics Device Interface (GDI)) in Windows 2000 and XP allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by calling the ShowWindow function after receiving a WM_NCCREATE message.

Format string vulnerability in the C runtime functions in SQL Server 7.0 and 2000 allows attackers to cause a denial of service.

Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by flooding Internet Key Exchange (IKE) UDP port 500 with packets that contain a large number of dot characters.

Terminal Server in Windows NT and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a sequence of invalid Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) packets.

Terminal Services Manager MMC in Windows 2000 and XP trusts the Client Address (IP address) that is provided by the client instead of obtaining it from the packet headers, which allows clients to spoof their public IP address, e.g. through a Network Address Translation (NAT).

Vulnerabilities in RPC servers in (1) Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and earlier, (2) Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and earlier, (3) Windows NT 4.0, and (4) Windows 2000 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed inputs.

Memory leak in NNTP service in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a large number of malformed posts.

Buffer overflow in IrDA driver providing infrared data exchange on Windows 2000 allows attackers who are physically close to the machine to cause a denial of service (reboot) via a malformed IrDA packet.

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.

Vulnerability in authentication process for SMTP service in Microsoft Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to use incorrect credentials to gain privileges and conduct activities such as mail relaying.

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.
