| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS06-036, KB914388) for 'Vulnerability in DHCP Client Service' has not been applied. Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability when receiving a malformed response to a DHCP request. By responding to a DHCP client request originating from the same network segment with specially-crafted packets, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the affected DHCP client host.
* 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.
