CVE-2013-3878

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version SP2

Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges by operating an LRPC server that sends a crafted LPC port message. An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Local Remote Procedure Call (LRPC) where an attacker spoofs an LRPC Server and uses a specially crafted LPC port message to cause a stack-based buffer overflow condition on the LRPC client. This could allow an attacker to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full administrator rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version SP2, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the LRPC client to minimize the risk of exploitation.
