A. THE BUG/ISSUE (Varies from issue to issue)
Only on Windows 10 x86 & x64 CIS does not detect application access to the Windows DNS/RPC Client Service a.k.a COM Interface \RPC Control\DNSResolver.
Can you reproduce the problem & if so how reliably?:
Yes very reliably
If you can, exact steps to reproduce. If not, exactly what you did & what happened:
1:Execute any application that performs DNS query’s using the Windows DNS/RPC Client Service. I used dnstester.exe from matousec.com SSTS64 proactive security challenge test suite.
2:Either set HIPS to paranoid mode or safe mode with the application rating set to unrecognized.
3:Notice no alert for accessing the DNS/RPC Client Service.
One or two sentences explaining what actually happened:
Any unknown application can communicate over the network without an alert using the built in Windows DNS/RPC client service.
One or two sentences explaining what you expected to happen:
I expected CIS to display an alert when an unrecognized application attempts to access the DNS/RPC client service (COM interface \RPC Control\DNSResolver)
If a software compatibility problem have you tried the advice to make programs work with CIS?:
N/A
Any software except CIS/OS involved? If so - name, & exact version:
I used matousec.com dnstester.exe from the software security testing suite 64 archive available here:http://www.matousec.com/downloads/ssts64.7z password is ssts64
Any other information, eg your guess at the cause, how you tried to fix it etc:
N/A
