Some FYI for this one.....XP SP2 is not vulnerable to this (nor is Server 2003). "UPnP" is "Universal Plug 'n Play" (a Service), and it should be disabled anyway on XP. -------------
TITLE: Microsoft Windows UPnP GetDeviceList Denial of Service SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA17595 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/17595/ CRITICAL: Less critical IMPACT: DoS 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 XP Home Edition http://secunia.com/product/16/ Microsoft Windows XP Professional http://secunia.com/product/22/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to a memory allocation error when handling UPnP GetDeviceList requests via RPC. This can be exploited to cause "services.exe" to consume large amount of memory for a limited period of time. Successful exploitation causes a DoS but requires valid logon credentials on Windows XP Service Pack 1. The vulnerability has been confirmed in Windows 2000 SP4 and is also reported in Windows XP Service Pack 1. Note: An exploit for this vulnerability is publicly available. SOLUTION: Restrict access to the affected systems using a firewall. Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 are reportedly not vulnerable.
