Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Laurent Gaffié has discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing an SMB packet having less data than defined in the NetBIOS header. This can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop and hang an affected system by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious SMB server via e.g. a specially crafted web site opened in Internet Explorer.

The vulnerability is confirmed on a fully patched Microsoft Windows 7 and reported in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.
