MS05-047: Plug and Play Remote Code Execution and Local Privilege Elevation (905749) (uncredentialed check)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 21193

Language:

Synopsis

A flaw in the Plug and Play service may allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host and, therefore, elevate his privileges.

Description

The remote host contains a version of the Plug and Play service that contains a vulnerability in the way it handles user-supplied data.

An authenticated attacker may exploit this flaw by sending a malformed RPC request to the remote service and execute code with SYSTEM privileges.

Note that authentication is not required against Windows 2000 if the MS05-039 patch is missing.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2000 and XP.
