MS01-059: Unchecked Buffer in Universal Plug and Play can Lead to System Compromise (315000)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 10835

Synopsis

The Universal Plug and Play service on the remote host is prone to denial of service and buffer overflow attacks.

Description

Using a specially crafted NOTIFY directive, a remote attacker can cause code to run in the context of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) subsystem or possibly launch a denial of service attack against the affected host.

Note that, under Windows XP, the UPnP subsystem operates with SYSTEM privileges.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 98, 98SE, ME, and XP.
