Synopsis

The remote SMB server can be abused to execute code remotely.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a vulnerable SMBv2 implementation with the following issues :

- A specially crafted SMBv2 packet can cause an infinite loop in the Server service. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-2526)

- Sending a specially crafted SMBv2 packet to the Server service can result in code execution. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to take complete control of the system. (CVE-2009-2532, CVE-2009-3103) (EDUCATEDSCHOLAR)

EDUCATEDSCHOLAR is one of multiple Equation Group vulnerabilities and exploits disclosed on 2017/04/14 by a group known as the Shadow Brokers.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista and 2008.
