Microsoft Windows NTLM Authentication RPC DoS
Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2007-2228,MS07-058
Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011
DESCRIPTION
rpcrt4.dll (aka the RPC runtime library) in Microsoft Windows XP
SP2, XP Professional x64 Edition, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Server 2003 x64
Edition and x64 Edition SP2, and Vista and Vista x64 Edition allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (RPCSS service stop and system restart)
via an RPC request that uses NTLMSSP PACKET authentication with a zero-valued
verification trailer signature, which triggers an invalid dereference. NOTE:
this also affects Windows 2000 SP4, although the impact is an information
leak.
