Microsoft Windows UPnP Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows UPnP Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. This occurs when handling certain HTTP requests.

To exploit this issue, an attacker must be in the same network segment as the victim.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service. Failed exploits attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
