Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows 2000 Server SP4 running Active Directory allow local users to bypass group policies that restrict access to hidden drives by using the browse feature in Office 10 applications such as Word or Excel, or using a flash drive. NOTE: this issue has been disputed in a followup post.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to cause a denial of service (i.e., system crash) via a malformed request, aka "Object Management Vulnerability".

Stack-based buffer overflow in WINSRV.DLL in the Client Server Runtime System (CSRSS) process of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges via a specially-designed application that provides console window information with a long FaceName value.

Gaim 1.1.3 on Windows systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a file transfer in which the filename contains "(" or ")" (parenthesis) characters.

The GetEnhMetaFilePaletteEntries API in GDI32.DLL in Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Enhanced Metafile (EMF) file that causes invalid (1) end, (2) emreof, or (3) palent offsets to be used, aka "Enhanced Metafile Vulnerability."

Microsoft Windows XP SP1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an empty datagram to a raw IP over IP socket (IP protocol 4), as originally demonstrated using code in Python 2.3.

Remote Desktop in Windows XP SP1 does not verify the "Force shutdown from a remote system" setting, which allows remote attackers to shut down the system by executing TSShutdn.exe.

Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer in Windows 2000 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed Windows Metafile (WMF) file.

OpenText FirstClass 8.0 client does not properly sanitize strings before passing them to the Windows ShellExecute API, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a UNC path in a bookmark.

PictureViewer in QuickTime for Windows 6.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a GIF image with the maximum depth start value, possibly triggering an integer overflow.

Unknown vulnerability in Sun Java System Web Server 6.0 SP7 and earlier, when running on Windows systems, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (hang).

Unknown vulnerability in Incoming Remote Command (iSeries Access for Windows Remote Command service) in IBM OS/400 R510, R520, and R530 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (IRC shutdown) via certain inputs.

Unquoted Windows search path vulnerability in Musicmatch Jukebox 10.00.2047 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious C:\program.exe file, which is run by MMFWLaunch.exe when it attempts to execute launch.exe.

The Web View DLL (webvw.dll), as used in Windows Explorer on Windows 2000 systems, does not properly filter an apostrophe ("'") in the author name in a document, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary script via extra attributes when Web View constructs a mailto: link for the preview pane when the user selects the file.

Unquoted Windows search path vulnerability in BitDefender 8 allows local users to prevent BitDefender from starting by creating a malicious C:\program.exe, possibly due to the lack of quoting of the full pathname when executing a process.

Multiple Symantec AntiVirus products, including Norton AntiVirus 2005 11.0.0, Web Security Web Security 3.0.1.72, Mail Security for SMTP 4.0.5.66, AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.3.7.27, SAV/Filter for Domino NT 3.1.1.87, and Mail Security for Exchange 4.5.4.743, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (component crash) and avoid detection via a crafted RAR file.

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.

Windows Server 2003 and XP SP2, with Windows Firewall turned off, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a TCP packet with the SYN flag set and the same destination and source address and port, aka a reoccurrence of the "Land" vulnerability (CVE-1999-0016).

Integer overflow on Apple QuickTime before 6.5.2, when running on Windows systems, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via certain inputs that cause a large memory operation.

A design error in the IEEE1394 specification allows attackers with physical access to a device to read and write to sensitive memory using a modified FireWire/IEEE 1394 client, thus bypassing intended restrictions that would normally require greater degrees of physical access to exploit. NOTE: this was reported in 2008 to affect Windows Vista, but some Linux-based operating systems have protection mechanisms against this attack.
