MS KB982316: Elevation of Privilege Using Windows Service Isolation Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 48761

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

Windows Service Isolation can be bypassed on the remote host, resulting in the elevation of privileges.

A local attacker could exploit this by leveraging the TAPI service to execute code as SYSTEM.

A similar problem affects other Windows services that run as the NetworkService user (e.g. IIS, SQL Server), though Nessus has not checked for those issues.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2 :

Although these patches mitigate this vulnerability, users should be aware this is considered a non-security update by Microsoft. Refer to the Microsoft advisory for more information.
