Description:
Cisco reported that Cisco IP Call Center Express appliances are affected by the Windows 2000 Workstation Service vulnerability. A remote user can execute arbitrary code with System privileges on the target system.
It is reported that a remote user can send a specially crafted message to the Workstation service to cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code with System level privileges. Other attack vectors can reportedly be used. For example, a remote authenticated user can login and send malformed messages to the service or an application that passes messages to the service can be exploited.
The flaw exists in the Wkssvc.dll file.
The Workstation service is used to route local file system requests and remote file or print network requests and is enabled by default, according to the report.
Microsoft indicates that if you have blocked inbound UDP ports 138, 139, 445 and TCP ports 138, 139, 445 with a firewall, a remote user cannot send messages to the Workstation service.
Microsoft credits eEye Digital Security with reporting this flaw.
