CVSS v3.1 |
| The unattended installation of Windows 2000 with the OEMPreinstall option sets insecure permissions for the All Users and Default Users directories. |
| The user interface in the Windows Firewall does not properly display certain malformed entries in the Windows Registry, which makes it easier for attackers with administrator privileges to hide activities if the administrator only uses the Windows Firewall interface to monitor exceptions. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that since administrative privileges are already required, it is not a vulnerability. CVE has not yet formally decided if such "information hiding" issues should be included. |
| Windows 95 uses weak encryption for the password list (.pwl) file used when password caching is enabled, which allows local users to gain privileges by decrypting the passwords. |
| Windows NT 4.0 generates predictable random TCP initial sequence numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to perform spoofing and session hijacking. |
| 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. |
| Integer overflow in the PolyPolygon function in Graphics Rendering Engine on Microsoft Windows 98 and Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Windows Metafile (WMF) or EMF image with a sum of entries in the vertext counts array and number of polygons that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. |
| 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. |
| The WideCharToMultiByte function in Microsoft Windows 2000 before Update Rollup 1 for SP4 does not properly convert strings with Japanese composite characters in the last character, which could prevent the string from being null terminated and lead to data corruption or enable buffer overflow attacks. |
| A Windows NT domain user or administrator account has a guessable password. |
| Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3, when installed on Solaris, installs executables with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to delete or modify the executables to gain privileges. |
| The networking software in Windows 95 and Windows 98 allows remote attackers to execute commands via a long file name string, aka the "File Access URL" vulnerability. |
| IIS 4.0 allows local users to bypass the "User cannot change password" policy for Windows NT by directly calling .htr password changing programs in the /iisadmpwd directory, including (1) aexp2.htr, (2) aexp2b.htr, (3) aexp3.htr , or (4) aexp4.htr. |
| Microsoft Windows 2000 running the Terminal Server 90-day trial version, and possibly other versions, does not apply group policies to incoming users when the number of connections to the SYSVOL share exceeds the maximum, e.g. with a maximum number of licenses, which can allow remote authenticated users to bypass group policies. |
| Microsoft Windows 2000 allows local users to bypass the policy that prohibits reusing old passwords by changing the current password before it expires, which does not enable the check for previous passwords. |
| The TCP/IP stack in multiple operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a TCP packet with the correct sequence number but the wrong Acknowledgement number, which generates a large number of "keep alive" packets. NOTE: some followups indicate that this issue could not be replicated. |
| The component for the Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) subsystem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 does not properly validate system structures, which allows local users to access protected kernel memory and execute arbitrary code. |
| 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. |
| RPC endpoint mapper in Windows NT 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of RPC services) via a malformed request. |
| Buffer overflow in mplay32.exe of Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3 through 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long mp3 filename command line argument. NOTE: since the only known attack vector requires command line access, this may not be a vulnerability. |
| Windows 95/NT out of band (OOB) data denial of service through NETBIOS port, aka WinNuke. |
