{"vuid":"VU#455516","idnumber":"455516","name":"Microsoft PGM vulnerable to remote code execution","keywords":["Microsoft","PGM","Pragmatic General Multicast","remote code execution","MSMQ service","ms06-sep"],"overview":"A buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft's Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) protocol implementation may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.","clean_desc":"The Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) protocol is an experimental protocol defined in RFC 3208. Microsoft's implementation of the PGM protocol is the Microsoft Message Queuing Services (MSMQ). A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the MSMQ service that may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. An attacker may be able to send a specially-crafted message that triggers the overflow when received by a vulnerable system. Per Microsoft, primarily Windows XP is affected by this vulnerability.","impact":"A remote, unauthenticated attacker can run arbitrary code with system privileges.","resolution":"Upgrade\nMicrosoft has released an update that addresses this issue.","workarounds":"Do not install unnecessary services\nMSMQ is not installed by default on Windows XP systems. Do not install this service unless multicast support is required. Restrict access\nMSMQ uses the ports listed in the Message Queuing section of Network Ports Used by Key Microsoft Server Products.","sysaffected":"","thanks":"Thanks to Microsoft for supplying information on this vulnerability.
