Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, the advisory is from a reliable source.

The HTML Help ActiveX control (Hhctrl.ocx) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP3, XP SP2 and Professional, 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified functions, related to uninitialized parameters.

The Client-Server Run-time Subsystem in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Server 2003 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted file manifest within an application, aka "File Manifest Corruption Vulnerability."

Integer overflow in the ReadWideString function in agentdpv.dll in Microsoft Agent on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large length value in an .ACF file, which results in a heap-based buffer overflow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 and XP SP1, with versions the MS06-042 patch before 20060912, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long URL in a GZIP-encoded website that was the target of an HTTP redirect, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-3869.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Indexing Service in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, when the Encoding option is set to Auto Select, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a UTF-7 encoded URL, which is injected into an error message whose charset is set to UTF-7.

Buffer overflow in the Server Service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers, including anonymous users, to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1314.

The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SMB_COM_TRANSACTION SMB message that contains a string without null character termination, which leads to a NULL dereference in the ExecuteTransaction function, possibly related to an "SMB PIPE," aka the "Mailslot DOS" vulnerability. NOTE: the name "Mailslot DOS" was derived from incomplete initial research; the vulnerability is not associated with a mailslot.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Server Service (SRV.SYS driver) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, Server 2003 up to SP1, and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted first-class Mailslot messages that triggers memory corruption and bypasses size restrictions on second-class Mailslot messages.

Buffer overflow in Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) on Windows XP and 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (repeated crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a .url file with an InternetShortcut tag containing a long URL and a large number of "file:" specifiers.
