Vulnerabilities > CVE-2010-1892 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista
Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
The TCP/IP stack in Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2, and Windows 7 does not properly handle malformed IPv6 packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via multiple crafted packets, aka "IPv6 Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

| description | The TCP/IP stack installed on the remote Windows host is affected by one or more of the following vulnerabilities : - An error exists in the Windows TCP/IP stack when processing specially crafted IPv6 packets with a malformed extension header that could cause the affected system to stop responding if IPv6 features are enabled, which is true by default in Windows Vista and 2008. (CVE-2010-1892) - The Windows TCP/IP stack fails to properly handle data copied from user mode, which could result in an integer overflow and allow a local attacker to run arbitrary code with system-level privileges.
