[guru] [davidl@ngssoftware.com: Database servers on XP and the curious flaw]
DATE: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 10:19:26 +0100
Egy elég érdekes és súlyos mellékhatás az egyes adatbázis kezelők valamint
az MS Simple File Sharing rendszere között. Amennyiben a Simple File
Sharing engedélyezett, úgy a magát azonosítani nem tudó felhasználó guest
jogokat kap. Sajnos ez API szinten történik, így néhány adatbázis kezelőhöz
akár DBA jog is szerezhető. Az advisory elég rövid, célszerű átolvasni.

Hey all,
I've just put up a paper on a curious flaw that appears when running a
database server on Windows XP with Simple File Sharing enabled. The flaw
essentially allows a remote attacker to gain access to the database,
sometimes with DBA privileges, without knowledge of a valid password. To be
honest, no-one is really to blame; it's just one of those cases where you
take two disparate mechanisms, shake them up, add a dash of lime and serve
up. The paper can be found here
http://www.databasesecurity.com/dbsec-papers.htm and is entitled "Database
Servers on Windows XP and the Unintended Consequences of Simple File
Sharing". It doubles-up as my entry for the "Longest Title" award.
Cheers,
