Published: 22.02.2007
Source: SECURITYVULNS
SecurityVulns ID: 7283
Type: remote
Level: 6/10
Description: ReadDirectoryChangesW() API function doesn't check user's privileges for subtree folders, making it's possible for unprivileged user to gather information about sensitive files.

Affected: MICROSOFT : Windows 2000 Server
MICROSOFT : Windows 2000 Professional
MICROSOFT : Windows XP
MICROSOFT : Windows 2003 Server
MICROSOFT : Windows Vista
CVE: CVE-2007-0843 (The ReadDirectoryChangesW API function on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista does not check permissions for child objects, which allows local users to bypass permissions by opening a directory with LIST (READ) access and using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor changes of files that do not have LIST permissions, which can be leveraged to determine filenames, access times, and other sensitive information.)
