SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

When the NFS service is enabled on Windows, an attacker can use a
malicious query, in order to trigger a denial of service.

Impacted products: Windows 2008, Microsoft Windows 2012

Severity: 2/4

Creation date: 12/02/2013

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The NFS (Network File System) service is used to share files in a
Unix environment.

However, this service does not correctly process a read operation
on a file, and dereferences a NULL pointer.

When the NFS service is enabled on Windows, an attacker can
therefore use a malicious query, in order to trigger a denial of
service.
