Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-013 - Critical
Vulnerabilities in Windows HTTP Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(960803)
Published: April 14, 2009
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and
two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows HTTP Services
(WinHTTP). The most severe vulnerability could allow remote code
execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then
install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts
with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer
user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate
with administrative user rights.
This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista,
and Windows Server 2008. For more information, see the subsection,
Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by changing the way
that Windows HTTP Services handles errors and validates certificates, and
by ensuring that Windows HTTP Services correctly use NTLM credential
reflection protection mechanisms. For more information about the
vulnerabilities, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for
the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability
Information.

Vulnerability Information
Windows HTTP Services Integer Underflow Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0086
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows HTTP
Services handle specific values that are returned by a remote Web server.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with the
same user rights as the service or application which calls the WinHTTP API
to connect to the attacker's Web server.
Windows HTTP Services Certificate Name Mismatch Vulnerability -
CVE-2009-0089
A spoofing vulnerability exists in Windows HTTP Services as a result of the
incomplete validation of the distinguished name in a digital certificate.
When combined with specific other attacks, such as DNS spoofing, this may
allow an attacker to successfully spoof the digital certificate of a Web
site for any application that uses Windows HTTP Services.
Windows HTTP Services Credential Reflection Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0550
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Windows HTTP
Services handles NTLM credentials when a user connects to an attacker's Web
server. This vulnerability allows an attacker to replay the user's
credentials back to the attacker and execute code in the context of the
logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete
control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs;
view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system
could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
