Brief Description Microsoft Windows User32.dll ListBox and ComboBox controls buffer overflow
Detailed Description Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in a function in the User32.dll file, caused by improper validation of Windows messages. This vulnerable function is called by both the ListBox and ComboBox controls. By running a program that sends a specially-crafted Windows message to an application that uses the ListBox or ComboBox control, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
Remedy Apply the appropriate patch for your system, as listed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-045.
CAN-2003-0659 <https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0659> : Buffer overflow in a function in User32.dll on Windows NT through Server 2003 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long messages to the (1) ListBox (2) ComboBox controls in a privileged application.

9) Documentation of Finding CVE Names Using Elements <CR_4.3>
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the process a user would follow to find the CVE names associated with individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):
CVE names with links to the CVE website are displayed in the Reports and Policy Navigators. Reports can be ordered (sorted) by CVE number.
11) Candidates Versus Entries Indication <CR_6.1>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):
The Assuria Console database uses CVE candidate (CAN) names. The CAN- prefix is used for all candidates to differentiate them from CVE entries that use the CVE- prefix. Is this now relevant?
12) Candidates Versus Entries Explanation <CR_6.2>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how the difference between candidates and entries is explained to your customers (recommended):
The CVE name links directly to the CVE online database and the candidate information is shown at the top of the page.
13) Candidate to Entry Promotion <CR_6.3>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):
Assuria subscribes to the CVE mailing lists. Our policy is to update the product database as new information and updates are received. Customers are not specifically informed of each change as this is automatically included into the product via the automatic update process.
14) Candidate and Entry Search Support <CR_6.4>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN portion of the CVE names (recommended):
Within the Policy Navigators the user can use the search feature to locate information relating to any or specific CVE or CAN entries.
15) Search Support for Promoted Candidates <CR_6.5>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's support for retrieving the CVE entry for a candidate that is no longer a candidate (recommended):
Our database maintains the latest mapping of CVE and CAN information and can be searched, by Platform, using the Policy Navigators.
16) Candidate Mapping Currency Indication <CR_6.6>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN portion of the CVE names (recommended):
At Assuria we strive to keep the database up to date. Before product updates are made available to customers a reconciliation of the product database and CVE data is undertaken.

Example output for an Assuria Auditor Check
Check Risk level Brief description
MS02-064 Medium Windows 2000 weak system partition permissions
Description
Microsoft Windows 2000 systems have weak default permissions on the system partition. The system partition is assigned Everyone/Full Control permissions by default. This could allow a POSIX compatible local attacker with Full Control NTFS permissions to delete any file from the system partition and replace it with a Trojan Horse. Once another user logs onto the system, the Trojan Horse could be made to execute with the same privileges as the logged on user.
CVE references
BID-5415 - Microsoft Windows 2000 Insecure Default File Permissions Vulnerability CAN-2002-1184 - The system root folder of Microsoft Windows 2000 has default permissions of Everyone group with Full access (Everyone:F) and is in the search path when locating programs during login or application launch from the desktop, which could allow attackers to gain privileges as other users via Trojan horse programs.
