Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS11-058, 2562485) for 'Vulnerabilities in DNS Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied. This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Windows DNS server. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker registers a domain, creates an NAPTR DNS resource record, and then sends a specially crafted NAPTR query to the target DNS server. Servers that do not have the DNS role enabled are not at risk. The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that the DNS server handles NAPTR queries in memory and initializes objects in memory before use.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
