Microsoft Windows platforms contain a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to a flaw in the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) interface that does not properly sanitize remote requests. If an attacker sends a specially crafted message to the server, they may be able to crash the service or execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
