| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (KB913580) for 'Denial of Service Vulnerability in MSDTC' has not been applied. Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Service Coordinator (MSDTC) service. By sending a specially-crafted network message to an affected host, a remote attacker could cause the MSDTC service to stop responding.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
