Last Update Date: 28 Jan 2011 Release Date: 10 Dec 2008 4490 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

1. SPN Vulnerability

A credential reflection vulnerability exists in the Windows Media components that could allow an attacker to execute code with the same rights as the local user or with Windows Media Services distribution credentials. The vulnerability exists due to weaknesses in Service Principal Name (SPN) implementations within Windows Media components.

2. ISATAP Vulnerability

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in supported versions of Windows Media components that could result in the disclosure of NTLM credentials. Any Windows Media component that accesses a URL that uses an ISATAP address could leak the user¡¦s NTLM credentials to the server that hosts the URL. This could allow an attacker who is external to the intranet zone to gather NTLM credentials for an enterprise environment.
