Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Windows 2000

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by setting a hardware breakpoint that is handled using global debug registers. This could cause other processes to terminate due to an exception and allow hijacking of resources such as named pipes.

Recommendations For Windows 2000, consider restricting access to debug registers to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limit the ability of local users to set hardware breakpoints until a more permanent solution is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
