CVE-2004-1080: The WINS service (wins.exe) on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 200...

The WINS service (wins.exe) on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary memory locations and possibly execute arbitrary code via a modified memory pointer in a WINS replication packet to TCP port 42, aka the "Association Context Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Microsoft WINS Server flaw that could let a remote attacker corrupt memory and possibly run code on affected Windows server systems. Business risk is concentrated in legacy environments that still run WINS on Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows Server 2003. Exposure is most likely where legacy Microsoft WINS servers remain reachable on TCP port 42, especially across internal networks or partner replication paths. The provided affected list names Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003. Prioritize remediation if any legacy WINS server is still operating. The affected platforms are obsolete, and a remotely reachable memory-corruption issue in name-service infrastructure can create outsized operational risk even without confirmed current exploitation. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance from MS04-045 or KB 890710 where applicable.; Retire or isolate unsupported WINS servers where patching is not practical.; Restrict TCP port 42 to trusted WINS replication peers only..
