MS10-024: Microsoft Exchange Denial of Service (uncredentialed)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 108800

Synopsis

The remote mail server may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Microsoft Exchange / Windows SMTP Service is affected by at least one vulnerability :

- Incorrect parsing of DNS Mail Exchanger (MX) resource records could cause the Windows Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) component to stop responding until the service is restarted. (CVE-2010-0024)

- Improper allocation of memory for interpreting SMTP command responses may allow an attacker to read random email message fragments stored on the affected server.
(CVE-2010-0025)

- Predictable transaction IDs are used, which could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof DNS responses.
(CVE-2010-1689)

- There is no verification that the transaction ID of a response matches the transaction ID of a query, which could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof DNS responses. (CVE-2010-1690)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and 2008 as well as Exchange Server 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010.
