Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-016: Vulnerability in DirectPlay Could Allow Denial of Service (839643) | |
|
||
| Time: 11:41 EST/16:41 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
This update resolves a newly-discovered, privately reported vulnerability. A denial of service vulnerability exists in the implementation of the IDirectPlay4 application programming interface (API) of Microsoft DirectPlay because of a lack of robust packet validation. The vulnerability is documented in the Vulnerability Details section of this bulletin. If a user is running a networked DirectPlay application, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the DirectPlay application to fail. The user would have to restart the application to resume functionality. Microsoft recommends that customers should consider applying the security update. | ||
