| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (KB902400) for 'Code Execution Vulnerabilities in MSDTC and COM+' has not been applied. The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) is a distributed transaction facility for Microsoft Windows platforms, which supports Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP). COM+ is the next step in the evolution of the Microsoft Component Object Model and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 are vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as follows:
1) MSDTC Vulnerability (CAN-2005-2119): Remote Code Execution and Local Elevation of Privilege
2) COM+ Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1978): Remote Code Execution and Local Elevation of Privilege
3) TIP Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1979): Denial of Service
4) Distributed TIP Vulnerability (CAN-2005-1980): Denial of Service
* 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.
