Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-106 - Moderate

Vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange Server Could Allow Denial of Service 
(2407132)

Version: 1.0

General Information

Executive Summary

  This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft
  Exchange Server. The vulnerability could allow denial of service if an 
  authenticated attacker sent a specially crafted network message to a computer
  running the Exchange service. Firewall best practices and standard default 
  firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate
  outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems that 
  are connected to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed.

  This security update is rated Moderate for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 
  Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems. For more information, see the 
  subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

  The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in 
  which the Exchange Server store processes RPC requests. For more information 
  about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection 
  for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability 
  Information.

Affected Software

  Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (2407132)
