| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (KB901017) for 'Vulnerability in the Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects' has not been applied. Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) is a Component Object Model (COM) component designed to, among other functions, make it easier to write programs that create or change Internet mail messages. Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a buffer overflow in the Collaboration Data Objects (CDO). To execute this flaw, an attacker would need to send a specially-crafted message via SMTP to the affected host, either by using the SMTP server (if Exchange is installed) or by sending an email to a user on the affected host. 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.
