Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS12-054, 2733594) for 'Vulnerabilities in Windows Networking Components Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied. This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends a specially crafted response to a Windows print spooler request. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems connected directly to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed.
-Remote Administration Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1850 A denial of service vulnerability exists in Windows networking components. The vulnerability is due to the service not properly handling specially crafted RAP requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause some of the Windows networking component to stop responding.
-Print Spooler Service Format String Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1851 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Print Spooler service that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts.
-Remote Administration Protocol Heap Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1852 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows networking components handle a specially crafted RAP response. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the target system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
-Remote Administration Protocol Stack Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1853 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows networking components handle specially crafted RAP responses. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the target system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
* 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.
