| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (KB899589) for 'Vulnerability in the Client Service for NetWare' has not been applied. The Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) allows the client to access NetWare file, print, and directory services, and is not installed by default. This service is also called Gateway Service for NetWare on Windows 2000 Server. Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by a buffer overflow in the Client Service for NetWare (CSNW). An attacker could exploit this flaw by connecting to the NetWare RPC service (possibly over IP) and trigger the overflow by sending a malformed RPC request. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could remotely take complete control of an affected system.
* 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.
