Warning: 10 days have passed since your last Windows reinstall.

   Installation of Service Pack 1 and/or security updates had no effect in
   regards to resolve the random crashes.

   To execute either the sample program or the route-add command, the user
   has to be member of the Network Configuration Operators group or the
   Administrators group.

   Since this buffer overflow overwrites kernel memory, it could be possible
   that members of the Network Configuration Operator group exploit this and
   take control over the operating system without any restriction.

Not much impact, though:

   Impact
   -----------------------------
   1. When adding a route entry to the IPv4 routing table using the method
      CreateIpForwardEntry2 and passing an illegal value greater than 32 [2]
      for the destination PrefixLength member in the DestinationPrefix
      structure contained in the MIB_IPFORWARD_ROW2 structure [3], kernel
      space memory is being corrupted resulting in random blue screen
      crashes. ...

In other words, a SNAFU <chuckle>.

This impact is worse, though:

   2. In addition we were able to reproduce this issue without the sample
   program, using the built in "route add" command. It seems the "route-add"
   uses the same method as our sample program, hence creates the same buffer
   overflow when calling it with an illegal value for the network mask. The
   syntax we used in the command line is as follows:

      route add 1.2.3.4/240 4.3.2.1

   This buffer overflow could be exploited to inject code, hence
   compromising client security.

Ay yi yi.

What does that command do on Linux?

   # route add 1.2.3.4/240 4.3.2.1
   route: netmask 0000ffff doesn't make sense with host route
   Usage: route [-nNvee] [-FC] [<AF>]           List kernel routing tables
   . . .

OTOH it wasn't they who screwed up the Vole's fork. Perhaps Microsoft
would be better switching back to the current upstream version. In fact
they should probably do that with their whole networking stack, since
they clearly don't have the first clue about networking at all.

Pray tell, liar Hadron Quark, which *other* distros had this bug? Be
precise. While you're at it, explain why Debian, your "distro of choice"
(if one is dumb enough to believe your claims), had this bug and no other
distro had. Might it have to do with a really idiotic decision on the part
of the debian maintainers?

So, why exactly is this a "linux bug", "kernel hacker" Hadron Quark?

You're genuinely bogus.

You knowledge challenged idiot and fool!

At least, that's the story when such bugs are found in Linux (which
happens several times a year for the kernel, and several times a month
if you include libraries and applications).
