Microsoft Windows TCP/IP Source Specific Multicasting (SSM) multiple buffer overflows
| ssm-list-bo (35059) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Microsoft Windows TCP/IP implementation is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows in the Source Specific Multicasting (SSM) timers caused by improper handling of IGMPv3 and MLDv2 packets. By sending a series of malformed IGMPv3 or MLDv2 packets to a vulnerable host, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Platforms Affected:
- Microsoft, Small Business Server 2003 R2
- Microsoft, Small Business Server 2003 SP1
- Microsoft, Small Business Server 2003 R2 SP2
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP1 Itanium
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP1
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server x64
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2 Itanium
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2 x64
- Microsoft, Windows Home Server
- Microsoft, Windows Vista x64
- Microsoft, Windows Vista
- Microsoft, Windows XP SP2 x64-Professional
- Microsoft, Windows XP x64-Professional
- Microsoft, Windows XP SP2
