An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-1979 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-1979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1979/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-1979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92x2-j38r-mm83"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows MSDTC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the Microsoft Windows Distributed Transaction Controller service by sending a malformed protocol command during reconnection.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Distributed Transaction Controller in Microsoft Windows allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (MSDTC service exception and exit) via an \"unexpected protocol command during the reconnection request,\" which is not properly handled by the Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) functionality.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2005-10-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-10-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"26341","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP/2000/2003 - MSDTC TIP Denial of Service (MS05-051)"},{"date":"2005-12-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"1352","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows - DTC Remote (MS05-051) (2)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-1978"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-10-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2008-4250","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2008-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Exception Handler","id":"CVE-2010-0232","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2010-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2009-1123","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-06-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2002-0367","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3677","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash the Microsoft Windows Distributed Transaction Controller service by sending a malformed protocol command during reconnection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-1979/"}
