CVE-2001-0860

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Terminal Services Manager MMC in Windows 2000 and XP trusts the Client Address (IP address) provided by the client instead of obtaining it from the packet headers, allowing clients to spoof their public IP address, e.g., through Network Address Translation (NAT).

Risk Assessment

IP address spoofing can lead to unauthorized access to resources and increases the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks. Organizations may be exposed to serious security threats.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade systems to newer versions that do not have this vulnerability and to implement additional IP address verification mechanisms to minimize risk.
