Top of section

Workarounds for Server Service Vulnerability - CVE-2008-4250

Workaround refers to a setting or configuration change that does not correct the underlying vulnerability but would help block known attack vectors before you apply the update. Microsoft has tested the following workarounds and states in the discussion whether a workaround reduces functionality:

•

Disable the Server and Computer Browser services Disabling the Computer Browser and Server service on the affected systems will help protect systems from remote attempts to exploit this vulnerability. You can disable these services by using the following steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel (or point to Settings and then click Control Panel). 2. Double-click Administrative Tools. 3. Double-click Services. 4. Double-click Computer Browser Service. 5. In the Startup type list, click Disabled. 6. Click Stop, and then click OK. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the Server service Impact of Workaround. If the Computer Browser service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on the Computer Browser service may log an error message in the system event log. For more information about the Computer Browser service, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 188001. If the Server service is disabled, you will not be able to share files or printers from your computer. However, you will still be able to view and use file shares and printer resources on other systems. How to undo the workaround. You can enable these services by using the following steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel (or point to Settings, and then click Control Panel). 2. Double-click Administrative Tools. 3. Double-click Services. 4. Double-click Computer Browser Service. 5. In the Startup type list, click Automatic. 6. Click Start, and then click OK. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the Server service

•	On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, filter the affected RPC identifier In addition to blocking ports with the Windows Firewall, the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 editions can selectively filter RPC Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID). To prevent this vulnerability, add a rule that blocks all RPC requests with the UUID equal to 4b324fc8-1670-01d3-1278-5a47bf6ee188. This is accomplished through the network shell. To access the network shell, run the following command from an elevated command prompt: netsh Once in the netsh environment, enter the following commands: netsh>rpc netsh rpc>filter netsh rpc filter>add rule layer=um actiontype=block netsh rpc filter>add condition field=if_uuid matchtype=equal data=4b324fc8-1670-01d3-1278-5a47bf6ee188 netsh rpc filter>add filter netsh rpc filter>quit The Filter Key is a randomly generated UUID specific to each system. To confirm the filter is in place, run the following command from an elevated command prompt: netsh rpc filter show filter If the commands are successful, the system displays the following information: Listing all RPC Filters. --------------------------------- filterKey: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx displayData.name: RPCFilter displayData.description: RPC Filter filterId: 0x12f79 layerKey: um weight: Type: FWP_EMPTY Value: Empty action.type: block numFilterConditions: 1 Where filterKey: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx equates to the randomly generated UUID relevant to your system. Impact of workaround. Certain applications that rely on the Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol may not function as intended. However, you will still be able to view and use file shares and printer resources on other systems. How to undo the workaround. Run the following command from an elevated command prompt: netsh rpc filter delete filter xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx Where filterKey: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx equates to the randomly generated UUID relevant to your system.
•	Block TCP ports 139 and 445 at the firewall These ports are used to initiate a connection with the affected component. Blocking TCP ports 139 and 445 at the firewall will help protect systems that are behind that firewall from attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Microsoft recommends that you block all unsolicited inbound communication from the Internet to help prevent attacks that may use other ports. For more information about ports, see TCP and UDP Port Assignments. Impact of workaround. Several Windows services use the affected ports. Blocking connectivity to the ports may cause various applications or services to not function. Some of the applications or services that could be impacted are listed below: • Applications that use SMB (CIFS) • Applications that use mailslots or named pipes (RPC over SMB) • Server (File and Print Sharing) • Group Policy • Net Logon • Distributed File System (DFS) • Terminal Server Licensing • Print Spooler • Computer Browser • Remote Procedure Call Locator • Fax Service • Indexing Service • Performance Logs and Alerts • Systems Management Server • License Logging Service
•	To help protect from network-based attempts to exploit this vulnerability, use a personal firewall, such as the Internet Connection Firewall All supported editions of Windows Vista come with Windows Firewall, a two-way firewall that is automatically enabled. For all supported editions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, use the Internet Connection Firewall feature to help protect your Internet connection by blocking unsolicited incoming traffic. Microsoft recommends that you block all unsolicited incoming communication from the Internet. In Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, this feature is called the Windows Firewall. By default, the Windows Firewall feature in Windows XP helps protect your Internet connection by blocking unsolicited incoming traffic. We recommend that you block all unsolicited incoming communication from the Internet. To enable the Windows Firewall feature by using the Network Setup Wizard, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click Network Connections and then click Change Windows Firewall Settings. 3. On the General tab, ensure that the On (recommended) value is selected. This will enable the Windows Firewall. 4. Once the Windows Firewall is enabled, select Don’t allow exceptions to prohibit all incoming traffic. For Windows Server 2003 systems, configure Internet Connection Firewall manually for a connection using the following steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. In the default Category View, click Networking and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. 3. Right-click the connection on which you want to enable Internet Connection Firewall, and then click Properties. 4. Click the Advanced tab. 5. Click to select the Protect my computer or network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box, and then click OK. Note If you want to enable certain programs and services to communicate through the firewall, click Settings on the Advanced tab, and then select the programs, the protocols, and the services that are required.

FAQ for Server Service Vulnerability - CVE-2008-4250

What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system remotely. On Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability over RPC without authentication to run arbitrary code. It is possible that this vulnerability could be used in the crafting of a wormable exploit. If successfully exploited, an attacker could then install programs or view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

What causes the vulnerability?
The vulnerability is caused by the Windows Server service not properly handling specially crafted RPC requests.

What is the Server service?
The Server service provides RPC support, file and print support, and named pipe sharing over the network. The Server service allows the sharing of your local resources (such as disks and printers) so that other users on the network can access them. It also allows named pipe communication between applications running on other computers and your computer, which is used for RPC.

What is RPC?
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that a program can use to request a service from a program located on another computer in a network. RPC helps with interoperability because the program using RPC does not have to understand the network protocols that are supporting communication. In RPC, the requesting program is the client and the service-providing program is the server.

What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system.

How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
An attacker could try to exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted message to an affected system. On Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems, any anonymous user with access to the target network could deliver a specially crafted network packet to the affected system in order to exploit this vulnerability. On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems, however, only an authenticated user with access to the target network could deliver a specially crafted network packet to the affected system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
While all workstations and servers are at risk regarding this issue, systems running Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 are primarily at risk due to the unique characteristics of the vulnerability and affected code path.

What does the update do?
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which the Server service handles RPC requests.

When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?
Yes. Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks attempting to exploit the vulnerability. However, when the security bulletin was released, Microsoft had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published.

Does applying this security update help protect customers from the code that attempts to exploit this vulnerability?
Yes. This security update addresses the vulnerability that is currently being exploited. The vulnerability that has been addressed has been assigned the Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CVE-2008-4250.

Installing the Update

When you install this security update, the installer checks whether one or more of the files that are being updated on your system have previously been updated by a Microsoft hotfix.

If you have previously installed a hotfix to update one of these files, the installer copies the RTMQFE, SP1QFE, or SP2QFE files to your system. Otherwise, the installer copies the RTMGDR, SP1GDR, or SP2GDR files to your system. Security updates may not contain all variations of these files. For more information about this behavior, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 824994.

For more information about the installer, visit the Microsoft TechNet Web site.

For more information about the terminology that appears in this bulletin, such as hotfix, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 824684.

This security update supports the following setup switches.

Supported Security Update Installation Switches
Switch	Description
/help	Displays the command-line options.
Setup Modes
/passive	Unattended Setup mode. No user interaction is required, but installation status is displayed. If a restart is required at the end of Setup, a dialog box will be presented to the user with a timer warning that the computer will restart in 30 seconds.
/quiet	Quiet mode. This is the same as unattended mode, but no status or error messages are displayed.
Restart Options
/norestart	Does not restart when installation has completed.
/forcerestart	Restarts the computer after installation and force other applications to close at shutdown without saving open files first.
/warnrestart[:x]	Presents a dialog box with a timer warning the user that the computer will restart in x seconds. (The default setting is 30 seconds.) Intended for use with the /quiet switch or the /passive switch.
/promptrestart	Displays a dialog box prompting the local user to allow a restart.
Special Options
/overwriteoem	Overwrites OEM files without prompting.
/nobackup	Does not back up files needed for uninstall.
/forceappsclose	Forces other programs to close when the computer shuts down.
/log:path	Allows the redirection of installation log files.
/extract[:path]	Extracts files without starting the Setup program.
/ER	Enables extended error reporting.
/verbose	Enables verbose logging. During installation, creates %Windir%\CabBuild.log. This log details the files that are copied. Using this switch may cause the installation to proceed more slowly.

Note You can combine these switches into one command. For backward compatibility, the security update also supports the setup switches that the earlier version of the Setup program uses. For more information about the supported installation switches, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 262841.

Verifying That the Update Has Been Applied

•

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer To verify that a security update has been applied to an affected system, you may be able to use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool. See the section, Detection and Deployment Tools and Guidance, earlier in this bulletin for more information.

•

File Version Verification Because there are several editions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your system. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps. 1. Click Start, and then click Search. 2. In the Search Results pane, click All files and folders under Search Companion. 3. In the All or part of the file name box, type a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Search. 4. In the list of files, right-click a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Properties. Note Depending on the edition of the operating system, or the programs that are installed on your system, some of the files that are listed in the file information table may not be installed. 5. On the Version tab, determine the version of the file that is installed on your system by comparing it to the version that is documented in the appropriate file information table. Note Attributes other than the file version may change during installation. Comparing other file attributes to the information in the file information table is not a supported method of verifying that the update has been applied. Also, in certain cases, files may be renamed during installation. If the file or version information is not present, use one of the other available methods to verify update installation.

•

Registry Key Verification You may also be able to verify the files that this security update has installed by reviewing the registry keys listed in the Reference Table in this section. These registry keys may not contain a complete list of installed files. Also, these registry keys may not be created correctly when an administrator or an OEM integrates or slipstreams this security update into the Windows installation source files.
