COMMAND

    MS NetMeeting

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    MS NetMeeting Version 2.1 (comes with Win98); Win9x, NT

PROBLEM

    Wanderley J. Abreu  Junior found following.   Local user can  gain
    root/privileged  access,  intruders  can  create root-owned files,
    denial of service attack, etc.   With MS NetMeeting software in  a
    conference can  copy/paste the  remote clipboard  area.   With the
    chat windows OPENED just  do a CTRL-C in  the box where you  write
    with nothing in your box and  nothing selected at all.  Then,  you
    can  get  the  entire  clipboard  from  the  other  user  in   the
    conference,  of  course,if  there's  something  in  his  Clipboard
    (ASCII, Bin, etc).

SOLUTION

    Use PGP to encrypt the clipboard area.
