Microsoft Windows Indexing Service Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Microsoft Indexing Service is reported prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue results from insufficient boundary checks performed by the application when copying user-supplied data in to sensitive process buffers. A remote or local attacker may execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer, which could ultimately allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the computer or gain elevated privileges. This issue can be exploited by sending a malformed query to the Indexing Service. It is reported that issue may be locally and remotely exploited, if Indexing Service is enabled on a vulnerable computer. |
