Description

Certain versions of Microsoft Windows are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the DNS Server Service which could allow an unauthenticated local or remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under SYSTEM level privileges. The vulnerability may be exploited using different types of DCERPC transports, including ncalrpc (local), ncacn_ip_tcp (tcp/ip), and ncacn_np (named pipes).
