Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2002 CVSS score >= 6

NetDSL ADSL Modem 800 with Microsoft Network firmware 5.5.11 allows remote attackers to gain access to configuration menus by sniffing undocumented usernames and passwords from network traffic.

Active Directory in Windows 2000, when supporting Kerberos V authentication and GSSAPI, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via an LDAP client that sets the page length to zero during a large request.

The "System Restore" directory and subdirectories, and possibly other subdirectories in the "System Volume Information" directory on Windows XP Professional, have insecure access control list (ACL) permissions, which allows local users to access restricted files and modify registry settings.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and possibly others allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary file contents when users press a key corresponding to the JavaScript (1) event.ctrlKey or (2) event.shiftKey onkeydown event contained in a webpage. NOTE: it was reported that the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue.

Internet Explorer 6.0 does not warn users when an expired certificate authority (CA) certificate is submitted to the user and a newer CA certificate is in the user's local repository, which could allow remote attackers to decrypt web sessions via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

Microsoft Outlook 2002 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, even when scripting is disabled, via an "about:" or "javascript:" URI in the href attribute of an "a" tag.

Buffer overflow in CHttpServer::OnParseError in the ISAPI extension (Isapi.cpp) when built using Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) static libraries in Visual C++ 5.0, and 6.0 before SP3, as used in multiple products including BadBlue, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long query string that causes a parsing error.

The terminal services screensaver for Microsoft Windows 2000 does not automatically lock the terminal window if the window is minimized, which could allow local users to gain access to the terminal server window.

Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000, when configured to send administrative alerts and the "Do not overwrite events (clear log manually)" option is set, does not notify the administrator when the log reaches its maximum size, which allows local users and remote attackers to avoid detection.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Active Data Objects (ADO) in Microsoft MDAC 2.5 through 2.7 allows remote attackers to have unknown impact with unknown attack vectors. NOTE: due to the lack of details available regarding this issue, perhaps it should be REJECTED.

Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 through 2000, with SQL Authentication enabled, uses weak password encryption (XOR), which allows remote attackers to sniff and decrypt the password.

Buffer overflow in mplay32.exe of Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3 through 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long mp3 filename command line argument. NOTE: since the only known attack vector requires command line access, this may not be a vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3, when installed on Solaris, installs executables with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to delete or modify the executables to gain privileges.

Microsoft Site Server 3.0 prior to SP4 installs a default user, LDAP_Anonymous, with a default password of LdapPassword_1, which allows remote attackers the "Log on locally" privilege.

Windows 2000 Terminal Services, when using the disconnect feature of the client, does not properly lock itself if it is left idle until the screen saver activates and the user disconnects, which could allow attackers to gain administrator privileges.

Off-by-one error in the CodeBrws.asp sample script in Microsoft IIS 5.0 allows remote attackers to view the source code for files with extensions containing with one additional character after .html, .htm, .asp, or .inc, such as .aspx files.

Buffer overflow in the Windows Shell function in Microsoft Windows XP allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an .MP3 or .WMA audio file with a corrupt custom attribute, aka "Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Enable System Compromise."

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly conduct other unauthorized activities via applet tags in HTML that bypass Java class restrictions (such as private constructors) by providing the class name in the code parameter, aka "Incomplete Java Object Instantiation Vulnerability."

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, can provide HTML object references to applets via Javascript, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash due to illegal memory accesses) and possibly conduct other unauthorized activities via an applet that uses those references to access proprietary Microsoft methods.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, provides a public load0() method for the CabCracker class (com.ms.vm.loader.CabCracker), which allows remote attackers to bypass the security checks that are performed by the load() method.

The Microsoft Java virtual machine (VM) build 5.0.3805 and earlier, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to extend the Standard Security Manager (SSM) class (com.ms.security.StandardSecurityManager) and bypass intended StandardSecurityManager restrictions by modifying the (1) deniedDefinitionPackages or (2) deniedAccessPackages settings, causing a denial of service by adding Java applets to the list of applets that are prevented from running.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read and modify the contents of the Clipboard via an applet that accesses the (1) ClipBoardGetText and (2) ClipBoardSetText methods of the INativeServices class.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read restricted process memory, cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code via the getNativeServices function, which creates an instance of the com.ms.awt.peer.INativeServices (INativeServices) class, whose methods do not verify the memory addresses that are passed as parameters.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to steal cookies and execute script in a different security context via a URL that contains a colon in the domain portion, which is not properly parsed and loads an applet from a malicious site within the security context of the site that is being visited by the user.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 does not perform complete security checks on external caching, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.
