DESCRIPTION:
h07 has discovered a weakness in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The weakness is caused due to an error in the Workstation service
when handling NetrWkstaUserEnum RPC requests with a large value in
the maxlen field.

Successful exploitation causes svchost.exe to consume a large amount
of memory and may result in the system becoming temporarily
unresponsive.

The weakness is confirmed on a fully patched Windows XP SP2 system
and has also been reported in Windows 2000 SP4.

SOLUTION:
Filter NetrWkstaUserEnum RPC requests with a large maxlen value.
