The xp_displayparamstmt function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint for Windows prior to 11.6.200 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges through placing carefully constructed Ami Pro (.sam) files onto the local system and triggering a DLP Endpoint scan through accessing a file. This is caused by the destination buffer being of fixed size and incorrect checks being made on the source size.

The registry entry for the Windows Shell executable (Explorer.exe) in Windows NT and Windows 2000 uses a relative path name, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by inserting a Trojan Horse named Explorer.exe into the %Systemdrive% directory, aka the "Relative Shell Path" vulnerability.

Microsoft Excel 97 and 2000 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands by specifying a malicious .dll using the Register.ID function, aka the "Excel REGISTER.ID Function" vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows 2000 before Service Pack 2 (SP2), when running in a non-Windows 2000 domain and using NTLM authentication, and when credentials of an account are locally cached, allows local users to bypass account lockout policies and make an unlimited number of login attempts, aka the "Domain Account Lockout" vulnerability.

The Input Method Editor (IME) in the Simplified Chinese version of Windows 2000 does not disable access to privileged functionality that should normally be restricted, which allows local users to gain privileges, aka the "Simplified Chinese IME State Recognition" vulnerability.

Internet Explorer 5.0 records the username and password for FTP servers in the URL history, which could allow (1) local users to read the information from another user's index.dat, or (2) people who are physically observing ("shoulder surfing") another user to read the information from the status bar when the user moves the mouse over a link.

Windows 2000 allows a local user process to access another user's desktop within the same windows station, aka the "Desktop Separation" vulnerability.

ZAK in Appstation mode allows users to bypass the "Run only allowed apps" policy by starting Explorer from Office 97 applications (such as Word), installing software into the TEMP directory, and changing the name to that for an allowed application, such as Winword.exe.

Windows NT 4.0 SP4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the symbolic link table in the \?? object folder using a different case letter (upper or lower) to point to a different device.

When an administrator in Windows NT or Windows 2000 changes a user policy, the policy is not properly updated if the local ntconfig.pol is not writable by the user, which could allow local users to bypass restrictions that would otherwise be enforced by the policy, possibly by changing the policy file to be read-only.
