Malformed RPC Request Can Cause Service Failure
Several of the RPC servers associated with system services in Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Windows NT 4. 0 and Windows 2000 do not adequately validate inputs, and in some cases will accept invalid inputs that prevent normal processing.
Several of the RPC servers associated with system services in Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 do not adequately validate inputs, and in some cases will accept invalid inputs that prevent normal processing. The specific input values at issue here vary >from RPC server to RPC server.
An attacker who sent such inputs to an affected RPC server could disrupt its service. The precise type of disruption would depend on the specific service, but could range in effect from minor (e.g., the service temporarily hanging) to major (e.g., the service failing in a way that would require the entire system to be restarted).
