CVE-2007-1748

82
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-1748 describes a critical stack-based buffer overflow in the RPC interface of the Microsoft DNS Server Service, affecting Windows 2000 Server SP4 and Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted, long zone name containing escape sequences. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it represents a severe threat due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, multiple Metasploit modules and ExploitDB entries confirm the existence of publicly available exploit code, indicating a high potential for exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
