Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Windows NT and Windows 2000
Description
The smss.exe debugging subsystem in Windows NT and Windows 2000 does not properly authenticate programs that connect to other programs. This allows local users to gain administrator or SYSTEM privileges by duplicating a handle to a privileged process, as demonstrated by DebPloit.
Recommendations
For Windows NT and Windows 2000, consider restricting access to the smss.exe debugging subsystem to minimize the risk of exploitation.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the debugging subsystem until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
Exploit
