Descriptions

Microsoft Windows XP, Server 2003 and 2008, and Vista exposes I/O activity measurements of all processes, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by reading the I/O Other Bytes column in Task Manager (aka taskmgr.exe) to estimate the number of characters that a different user entered at a runas.exe password prompt, related to a "benchmarking attack."

Microsoft Windows XP, Server 2003 y 2008, y Vista expone las mediciones de la actividad de I/O (entrada/salida) de todos los procesos, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible, como se ha demostrado mediante la lectura de las I/O en la columna Other Bytes en el Administrador de tareas (Task Manager) para estimar el número de caracteres que ha introducido (en el runas.exe - ejecutar como) un usuario (distinto del de la sesion actual) en la ventana que solicita la contraseña, relacionado con un "benchmarking attack".
