The License Logging service for Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003 does not properly validate the length of messages, which leads to an "unchecked buffer" and allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, aka the "License Logging Service Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Microsoft Windows Server vulnerability in the License Logging service. A remote attacker could crash the service or possibly run code by sending an overlong message. The business concern is concentrated in legacy Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003 systems. Exposure is most likely where the named legacy Windows Server versions still exist and the License Logging service can receive remote messages. The bundle does not identify client versions, later Windows releases, or cloud services as affected. Treat this as high priority if any named legacy Windows Server systems remain in production. The main decision is whether to patch, isolate, or retire those systems, because the source indicates remote denial of service and possible code execution. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running the named Windows Server versions.; Review Microsoft MS05-010 and apply the vendor security update where applicable.; Restrict remote access to License Logging service exposure..
