MS03-011: Flaw in Microsoft VM (816093)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 11528

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through the VM.

Description

The remote host is running a Microsoft VM machine that has a bug in its bytecode verifier that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on this host with the privileges of the user running the VM.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a malformed applet to a user on this host and have him execute it. The malicious applet would then be able to execute code outside the sandbox of the VM.

Solution

Microsoft VM is no longer supported, and previous updates are no longer available. Upgrade to an actively supported product.
