MS03-045: Buffer Overrun in the ListBox and in the ComboBox (824141)

high Nessus Plugin ID 11885

Synopsis

A local user can elevate privileges.

Description

A vulnerability exists because the ListBox control and the ComboBox control both call a function, located in the User32.dll file, that contains a buffer overrun. A local, interactive attacker could run a program that sends a specially crafted Windows message to any application that has implemented the ListBox control or the ComboBox control, causing the application to take any action specified.

An attacker must have valid login credentials to exploit the vulnerability. It can not be exploited remotely.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
