| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS06-074, KB926247) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in SNMP' has not been applied. Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service. By sending a specially-crafted SNMP packet to a vulnerable system, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system. The SNMP service is not installed by default.
* 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.
