Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2008 (Denial of service) CVSS score >= 7

Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4, 8.00.2050, 8.00.2039, and earlier; SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) SP4; SQL Server 2005 SP2 and 9.00.1399.06; SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (WMSDE) on Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2; and Windows Internal Database (WYukon) SP2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (access violation exception) or execute arbitrary code by calling the sp_replwritetovarbin extended stored procedure with a set of invalid parameters that trigger memory overwrite, aka "SQL Server sp_replwritetovarbin Limited Memory Overwrite Vulnerability."

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.

srv.sys in the Server service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an SMB WRITE_ANDX packet with an offset that is inconsistent with the packet size, related to "insufficiently validating the buffer size," as demonstrated by a request to the \PIPE\lsarpc named pipe, aka "SMB Validation Denial of Service Vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in the SQLVDIRLib.SQLVDirControl ActiveX control in Tools\Binn\sqlvdir.dll in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (aka SQL Server 8.0) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long URL in the second argument to the Connect method. NOTE: this issue is not a vulnerability in many environments, since the control is not marked as safe for scripting and would not execute with default Internet Explorer settings.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Gold and SP1 and Microsoft Search Server 2008 do not properly perform authentication and authorization for administrative functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server load), obtain sensitive information, and "create scripts that would run in the context of the site" via requests to administrative URIs, aka "Access Control Vulnerability."

orgchart.exe in Microsoft Organization Chart 2.00 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .opx file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in an API in GDI in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a WMF file with a malformed file-size parameter, which would not be properly handled by a third-party application that uses this API for a copy operation, aka "GDI Heap Overflow Vulnerability."

Microsoft Word 2000 9.0.2812 and 2003 11.8106.8172 does not properly handle unordered lists, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .doc file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory in certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a document object "appended in a specific order" with "particular functions ... performed on" document objects, aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability" or "Table Layout Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2257.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory in certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a document object "appended in a specific order," aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability" or "XHTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2258.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 does not properly handle objects that have been incorrectly initialized or deleted, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2254, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 accesses uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

A certain ActiveX control in WkImgSrv.dll 7.03.0616.0, as distributed in Microsoft Works 7 and Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (browser crash) via an invalid WksPictureInterface property value, which triggers an improper function call.

Active Directory on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4, XP Professional SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, and Server 2008 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (system hang or reboot) via a crafted LDAP request.

Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, does not properly validate the option length field in Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and system hang) via a crafted PGM packet, aka the "PGM Invalid Length Vulnerability."

Unspecified vulnerability in the TCP/IP support in Microsoft Windows Vista allows remote DHCP servers to cause a denial of service (hang and restart) via a crafted DHCP packet.

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in Microsoft Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted (1) IGMPv3 and (2) MLDv2 packets that trigger memory corruption, aka "Windows Kernel TCP/IP/IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Vulnerability."

The kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003, when ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (RDP) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via fragmented router advertisement ICMP packets that trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka "Windows Kernel TCP/IP/ICMP Vulnerability."
