MS02-006 Revised, annoucing the availability of a patch for NT 4

On March 11, 2002, Microsoft released an updated version of the bulletin annoucing the availability of a patch for Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition and to advise customers that the work-around procedure is no longer needed for that platform. Patches for additional platforms are forthcoming and this bulletin will be re-released to annouce their availability.

Issue:

A buffer overrun is present in all implementations. By sending a specially malformed management request to a system running an affected version of the SNMP service, an attacker could cause a denial of service. In addition, it is possible that he cause code to run on the system in LocalSystem context. This could potentially give the attacker the ability to take any desired action on the system.
