MUP wird initialisiert
Frage
Was heisst eigentlich beim Start von Win2000 MUP wird initialisiert ?
Antwort 1 von Limbius
Das ist das Einzige was ich über MUP gefunden habe :
The Multiple UNC Provider (MUP) is a Windows service that assists in
locating network resources that are identified via UNC (uniform
naming convention). The MUP receives commands containing UNC names from
applications and sends the name to each registered UNC provider, LAN Manager workstation, and any others that are installed. When a provider identifies a UNC name as its own, the MUP automatically redirects future instances of that name to that provider.
When MUP requests a file using the uniform naming convention (UNC), it
will allocate a buffer to store this request. There is proper input
checking in this first buffer. However, MUP stores another copy of
the file request in a buffer when it sends this request to a redirector. This second copy of the buffer does not check inputs correctly, thereby creating the possibility that a resource request to it from an unprivileged process could cause a buffer overrun. The overrun could be exploited for either of two purposes: causing a system failure, or running code on the system with Local System privileges.
