| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS12-017, 2647170) for 'Vulnerabilities in DNS Server Could Allow Denial of Service has not been applied.
The DNS server installed on the remote host does not properly handle objects in memory when looking up the resource record of a domain. By sending a specially crafted DNS query, an attacker may be able to exploit this flaw and cause the DNS server on the remote host to stop responding and eventually restart.
* 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.
