Internet Explorer (IE) MSXML3 Race Condition Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This vulnerability affects the following products:
XML Core Services 3.0 |
This is a previously public vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services disclosed on January 4, 2007 and documented in BID 21872. The problem occurs when rendering 'XML' documents that contain an excessive amount of nested tags and are displayed in an 'IFRAME'. If the rendering process is repeatedly disrupted with a JavaScript timer forcing the page to reload every 50-100 milliseconds, the application becomes corrupted and the vulnerability is triggered. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will cause denial of service conditions. |

MSXML DTD Cross-Domain Scripting Vulnerability
Information Disclosure Vulnerability
This vulnerability affects the following products:
XML Core Services 3.0 XML Core Services 4.0 |
A cross-domain information disclosure vulnerability affects Microsoft XML Core Services due to how it handles error checks for external document type definitions (DTDs). An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking an unsuspecting victim into viewing a malicious web page. A successful attack will result in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information from other domains. Information obtained may aid in further attacks. |

Information Disclosure Vulnerability
This vulnerability affects the following products:
XML Core Services 3.0 XML Core Services 4.0 XML Core Services 5.0 XML Core Services 6.0 |
A cross-domain information disclosure vulnerability affects Microsoft XML Core Services due to how it handles transfer-encoding headers. An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking an unsuspecting victim into viewing malicious web page. A successful attack will result in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information from other domains. Information obtained may aid in further attacks. |

SMB Credential Reflection Vulnerability
Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This vulnerability affects the following products:
Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 Windows XP SP2 Windows XP SP3 Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2 Windows Server 2003 SP1 Windows Server 2003 SP2 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition SP2 Windows Server 2003 SP1 for Itanium-based Systems Windows Server 2003 SP2 for Itanium-based Systems Windows Vista Windows Vista SP1 Windows Vista x64 Edition Windows Vista x64 Edition SP1 Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems |
This is a previously documented remote code-execution vulnerability affecting the Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. The problem occurs because of how SMB handles NTLM credentials. Specifically, if an attacker can trick a victim into connecting to a malicious SMB server, the attacker can reflect the victim’s credentials back, and gain access to the victim’s computer in the context of the currently logged-in user. |
