Microsoft Windows PGM Invalid Fragment Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle specially crafted PGM (Pragmatic General Multicast) network traffic.

Attackers can exploit this issue to cause affected computers to stop responding until all the malformed packets have been processed. Successful attacks will deny service to legitimate users.

On computers running Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, PGM is enabled only when Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) 3.0 is installed. The MSMQ service is not installed by default.

On computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, PGM is enabled only when Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) 4.0 is installed and when PGM is specifically enabled. The MSMQ service is not installed by default. When MSMQ is installed, PGM processing is not enabled by default.

Microsoft Windows PGM Invalid Fragment Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

To exploit this issue, attackers will likely use readily available packet generators.

Currently we are not aware of any working exploits. If you feel we are in error or if you are aware of more recent information, please mail us at: [email protected].
