What is CVE-2010-0231?
The SMB implementation in certain Microsoft Windows products fails to utilize a secure source of entropy. As a result, remote attackers can exploit this weakness through numerous authentication requests. This exploitation may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files and SMB resources by manipulating server-generated challenges, utilizing duplicate values, and spoofing authentication tokens. This vulnerability highlights significant security risks associated with inadequate entropy in authentication processes.
