CVE-2012-0174: Windows Firewall in tcpip.sys in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, and...

Windows Firewall in tcpip.sys in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, and Windows 7 Gold and SP1 does not properly enforce firewall rules for outbound broadcast packets, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by observing broadcast traffic on a local network, aka "Windows Firewall Bypass Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability could let someone on the same local network see broadcast traffic that Windows Firewall rules were expected to block. It affects older Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 releases. The business risk is mainly information exposure from legacy systems, not confirmed remote takeover. Exposure is most likely where legacy Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 Gold/SP1, or Windows Server 2008 SP2/R2/R2 SP1 systems remain on shared or untrusted LANs. Treat this as a legacy-system exposure issue. Prioritize remediation where affected hosts remain in production, especially on shared networks, but do not treat it as actively exploited based on the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft MS12-032 updates where affected systems still exist.; Retire or isolate unsupported Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008 systems.; Restrict untrusted access to LANs containing affected legacy Windows hosts..
