Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) for Windows NT 4.0, 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a BuildContextW request with a large (1) UuidString or (2) GuidIn of a certain length, which causes an out-of-range memory access, aka the MSDTC Denial of Service Vulnerability. NOTE: this is a variant of CVE-2005-2119.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability can let a remote attacker crash Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator on older Windows systems. It is a denial-of-service issue, not described as data theft or remote code execution in the supplied sources. Business impact depends on whether affected legacy Windows hosts still support transaction-dependent applications. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems where MSDTC is installed, enabled, and reachable over the network. Modern environments are mainly at risk if old servers, unsupported applications, or forgotten transaction-processing hosts remain connected. Prioritize remediation where legacy Windows servers still run transaction-dependent workloads or are reachable from untrusted networks. For fully modernized environments with no affected operating systems, this is primarily a legacy asset hygiene issue. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS06-018 and apply applicable vendor updates or guidance.; Inventory legacy Windows hosts listed in the CVE description.; Disable MSDTC where it is not required for business applications..
