CVE-2010-4562 Information

Microsoft Windows 2008 7 Vista 2003 2000 and XP when using IPv6 allows remote attackers to determine whether a host is sniffing the network by sending an ICMPv6 Echo Request to a multicast address and determining whether an Echo Reply is sent as demonstrated by thcping. NOTE: due to a typo some sources map CVE-2010-4562 to a ProFTPd mod_sql vulnerability but that issue is covered by CVE-2010-4652.
