| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix(KB885834) for 'Vulnerability in the License Logging Service buffer overflow' has not been applied. Microsoft's License Logging Service (LLS) assists in the management of licenses for some Microsoft server products. An error in the way that the LLS handles an unchecked buffer results in a vulnerability. An attacker with the ability to send a specially-crafted message to the LLS could exploit this vulnerability to execute code of their choosing or cause a denial of service. On affected versions of Windows NT and Windows 2000 Server, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with Local System privileges on a vulnerable system. Microsoft reports that exploitation of this vulnerability on Windows Server 2003 systems causes the License Logging Service to crash, resulting in a denial of service on that platform.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
