Microsoft » Windows Nt : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In November 2004

The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) component of Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via XPAT patterns, possibly related to improper length validation and an "unchecked buffer," leading to off-by-one and heap-based buffer overflows.

The RPC Runtime Library for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 allows remote attackers to read active memory or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malicious message, possibly related to improper length values.

The Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) subsystem of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to access kernel memory and gain privileges via a malicious program that modified some system structures in a way that is not properly validated by privileged operating system functions.

"Shatter" style vulnerability in the Window Management application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges by using certain API functions to change properties of privileged programs using the SetWindowLong and SetWIndowLongPtr API functions.

Network Dynamic Data Exchange (NetDDE) services for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code or locally gain privileges via a malicious message or application that involves an "unchecked buffer," possibly a buffer overflow.
