Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-008: Vulnerability in Windows Media Services Could Allow a Denial of Service (832359) | |
|
||
| Time: 02:08 EST/07:08 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
A vulnerability exists because of the way that Windows Media Station Service and Windows Media Monitor Service, components of Windows Media Services, handle TCP/IP connections. If a remote user were to send a specially-crafted sequence of TCP/IP packets to the listening port of either of these services, the service could stop responding to requests and no additional connections could be made. The service must be restarted to regain its functionality. Windows Media Services is made up of Windows Media Services Administrator and four Windows Media Services components running on a single computer: By using Windows Media Unicast Service, Windows Media content can be streamed over unicast, using either TCP or UDP as a transport, to Microsoft Windows Media Player or to another Windows Media server. | ||
