A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection |

A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection
A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection
Peter Gutmann, pgut001@cs.auckland.ac.nz

Last updated 12 June 2007 (but see the note below)
Distributed under the
Creative Commons
license (see Appendix)
In early August of this year I gave a talk at a security conference with a
significantly more up-to-date and cleaned-up version of this material (the
writeup here was originally written for comment on a private security mailing
list and had to be somewhat hastily retrofitted for non-security-geeks). In
addition this text was mostly written nearly a year ago and predates a number
of events such as the appearance of hardware with PVP-UAB support, about
100-odd MB of Vista updates, and entire stories like the GigE slowdown issue
(although that has nothing to do with content protection). This means that
this writeup exhibits the inevitable bit-rot of broken links, stories that
have changed, updated or changed technical information, and so on. Finally,
numerous images and diagrams don't integrate too well into this text-only
writeup (the talk material is in PDF form, which makes it easier to include
graphical content). So the
slides for the talk
are the recommended form if you want to read about this, with an optional
version
annotated for
the humour-impaired. I've also put up a
brief comment about
statements by the George and Ed tag team at ZDNet for people who were
wondering about that.

|
 This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in the
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) protocol that could allow a denial of service
if malformed PGM packets are received by an affected system. An attacker who
successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a user’s system to become
non-responsive and to require a restart to restore functionality. Note that the
denial of service vulnerability would not allow an attacker to execute code or
to elevate their user rights, but it could cause the affected system to stop
accepting requests
