  Gravity Storm Service Pack Manager 2000 Share Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.securitybastion.com/> Service Pack Manager 2000 is a utility
for IT professionals. It allows managing Windows NT/2000 Service Packs and
Hotfixes on the enterprise network in a cost-efficient way. A security
vulnerability occurs due to the fact that the product opens up a share
that is accessible to all, this share provides access to the root
directory of the operating system (C:\).

DETAILS

On a default installation of Service Pack Manager 2000 for Windows NT and
2000 by Gravity Storm Software, the software creates a hidden share called
SPM2000c$. This share is mapped to C:\. In all cases that were found the
critical directories were found to be at the very least readable and at
times (depending on the OS configuration) writeable to everyone remotely.
