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.
