Microsoft » Windows 98 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005

Buffer overflow in a certain USB driver, as used on Microsoft Windows, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Microsoft Agent allows remote attackers to spoof trusted Internet content and execute arbitrary code by disguising security prompts on a malicious Web page.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Step-by-Step Interactive Training (orun32.exe) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a bookmark link file (.cbo, cbl, or .cbm extension) with a long User field.

Integer overflow in Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, XP SP2 and earlier, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted compiled Help (.CHM) file with a large size field that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated using a "ms-its:" URL in Internet Explorer.

The Web View DLL (webvw.dll), as used in Windows Explorer on Windows 2000 systems, does not properly filter an apostrophe ("'") in the author name in a document, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary script via extra attributes when Web View constructs a mailto: link for the preview pane when the user selects the file.

The Windows Animated Cursor (ANI) capability in Windows NT, Windows 2000 through SP4, Windows XP through SP1, and Windows 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the AnimationHeaderBlock length field, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow.

The document processing application used by the Windows Shell in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying the CLSID stored in a file so that it is processed by HTML Application Host (MSHTA), as demonstrated using a Microsoft Word document.

The kernel of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges via certain access requests.

Buffer overflow in the font processing component of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges via a specially-designed application.

Buffer overflow in the Message Queuing component of Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted message.

Buffer overflow in the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows attackers to elevate privileges or execute arbitrary code via a crafted message.

The Hyperlink Object Library for Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted link that triggers an "unchecked buffer" in the library, possibly due to a buffer overflow.

Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via drag and drop events, aka the "Drag-and-Drop Vulnerability."

The OLE component in Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, and Exchange Server 5.0 through 2003, does not properly validate the lengths of messages for certain OLE data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, aka the "Input Validation Vulnerability."

Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 Converter (MSWRD632.WPC), as used in WordPad, does not properly validate certain data lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .wri, .rtf, and .doc file sent by email or malicious web site, aka "Font Conversion Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0571.

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset TCP connections) via spoofed ICMP error messages, aka the "blind connection-reset attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 Converter does not properly validate certain data lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .wri, .rtf, and .doc file sent by email or malicious web site, aka "Table Conversion Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0901.
