{"vuid":"VU#794580","idnumber":"794580","name":"Microsoft DNS Client buffer overflow","keywords":["Microsoft","DNS Client","buffer overflow","ms06-aug"],"overview":"The Microsoft DNS Client service contains a remote code execution vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to take complete control of the affected system.","clean_desc":"From Microsoft TechNet: The Domain Name System (DNS) client service resolves and caches DNS names. The DNS client service must be running on every computer that will perform DNS name resolution. The ability to resolve DNS names is crucial for locating domain controllers in Active Directory domains. The DNS client service is also critical for locating devices identified using DNS name resolution. The DNS client layer contains an unchecked buffer which could be exploited by a remote and unauthenticated attacker to gain access to the system.","impact":"A remote, unauthenticated attacker can gain complete control of a system, including the ability to install programs, view, change or delete data, or create new accounts, by one of the following means: Sending a specially crafted DNS communication to an affected system from a subnet between the target host and DNS server; or\nConvince the target host to make a DNS request to receive a specially crafted record response from an attacking server.","resolution":"Update Apply the update provided by Microsoft.
