Microsoft Windows Networking Multiple Vulnerabilities ( 11 August 2010 )

1. IPv6 Memory Corruption Vulnerability

A denial of service vulnerability exists in TCP/IP processing in Microsoft Windows due to an error in the processing of specially crafted IPv6 packets with a malformed extension header. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the target system a small number of specially crafted packets, causing the affected system to stop responding.

2. Integer Overflow in Windows Networking Vulnerability

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in TCP/IP processing in Microsoft Windows due to an error in the processing of a specific input buffer. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with system-level privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
