Descriptions

The RPCSS service in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2 does not properly implement isolation among a set of distinct processes that (1) all run under the NetworkService account or (2) all run under the LocalService account, which allows local users to gain privileges by accessing the resources of one of the processes, aka "Windows RPCSS Service Isolation Vulnerability."

El servicio RPCSS en Microsoft Windows XP SP2 y SP3 y Server 2003 SP1 y SP2 no implementa adecuadamente el aislamiento entre los distintos procesos que (1) todo se ejecuta bajo la cuenta NetworkService o (2) todo se ejecuta bajo la cuenta LocalService, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios para acceder a los recursos de uno de los procesos, tambiƩn conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de aislamiento de servicios RPCSS Windows".
