A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Windows handles specially crafted Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests. The remote code execution can occur when the RPC Network Data Representation (NDR) Engine improperly frees memory. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code and take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
