Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-058 - Important
Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (978886)
Published: August 10, 2010
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in
Microsoft Windows. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow
elevation of privilege due to an error in the processing of a specific input
buffer. An attacker who is able to log on to the target system could exploit
this vulnerability and run arbitrary code with system-level privileges. The
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create
new accounts with full user rights.
This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of Windows
Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. For more
information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this
section.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting the way in
which the TCP/IP stack handles malformed IPv6 packets and data copied from
user mode. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under
the next section, Vulnerability Information.

Vulnerability Information
IPv6 Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2010-1892
A denial of service vulnerability exists in TCP/IP processing in Microsoft
Windows due to an error in the processing of specially crafted IPv6 packets
with a malformed extension header. An attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by sending the target system a small number of specially
crafted packets, causing the affected system to stop responding.
Integer Overflow in Windows Networking Vulnerability CVE-2010-1893
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in TCP/IP processing in
Microsoft Windows due to an error in the processing of a specific input
buffer. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run
arbitrary code with system-level privileges. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full
user rights.
