smb-vuln-regsvc-dos
NSE detection rule by Unknown · Same as Nmap--See https://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html
Checks if a Microsoft Windows 2000 system is vulnerable to a crash in regsvc caused by a null pointer
dereference. This check will crash the service if it is vulnerable and requires a guest account or
higher to work.
The vulnerability was discovered by Ron Bowes while working on <code>smb-enum-sessions</code> and
was reported to Microsoft (Case #MSRC8742).
This check was previously part of smb-check-vulns.

---While writing <code>smb-enum-sessions</code> I discovered a repeatable null-pointer dereference
-- in regsvc. I reported it to Microsoft, but because it's a simple DoS (and barely even that, because
-- the service automatically restarts), and because it's only in Windows 2000, it isn't likely that they'll
-- fix it. This function checks for that crash (by crashing the process).
--
-- The crash occurs when the string sent to winreg_enumkey() function is null.
--
--@param host The host object.
--@return (status, result) If status is false, result is an error code; otherwise, result is either
-- <code>VULNERABLE</code> for vulnerable or <code>PATCHED</code> for not vulnerable.
