MS01-048: RPC Endpoint Mapper Malformed Request DoS (305399)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 10806

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The hotfix for the 'RPC Endpoint Mapper Service on NT 4 has not been applied' problem has not been applied.

Because the endpoint mapper runs within the RPC service itself, exploiting this vulnerability would cause the RPC service to fail, with the attendant loss of any RPC-based services the server offers, as well as potential loss of some COM functions. Normal service could be restored by rebooting the server.

Solution

Microsoft has released a patch for Windows NT 4.0.
