MS06-011: Permissive Windows Services DACLs Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (914798)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21077

Synopsis

Local users may be able to elevate their privileges on the remote host.

Description

The remote version of Windows contains services whose permissions are set to such a way that low-privileged local users may be able to change properties associated to each service and therefore manage to elevate their privileges.

To exploit this flaw, an attacker would need credentials to log into the remote host.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP and 2003.
