============================== TITLE: Microsoft Windows Telephony Service Vulnerability SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA16354 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/16354/ CRITICAL: Moderately critical IMPACT: Privilege escalation, System access WHERE: >From local network OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server http://secunia.com/product/21/ Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server http://secunia.com/product/1177/ Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional http://secunia.com/product/1/ Microsoft Windows 2000 Server http://secunia.com/product/20/ Microsoft Windows 98 http://secunia.com/product/12/ Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition http://secunia.com/product/13/ Microsoft Windows Millenium http://secunia.com/product/14/ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition http://secunia.com/product/1175/ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition http://secunia.com/product/1174/ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition http://secunia.com/product/1173/ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition http://secunia.com/product/1176/ Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition http://secunia.com/product/16/ Microsoft Windows XP Professional http://secunia.com/product/22/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges or by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) service when validating permissions and the length of certain messages before copying the data to an allocated buffer. Successful exploitation allows malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. On certain configurations of Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 with the Telephony service enabled (disabled by default), it is also possible to exploit the vulnerability without a local account. However, only authenticated users can access the service on Windows Server 2003 and hence exploit the vulnerability. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
