Title: Microsoft Windows Server Service RPC Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Microsoft Windows Server service provides support for sharing resources such as files and print services over the network.
The Server service is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability that affects RPC (Remote Procedure Call) handling. This issue stems from a stack-based buffer overflow that can be triggered with specially crafted RPC requests to a vulnerable computer. The 'NetprPathCanonicalize()' function in the 'netapi32.dll' file is affected.
An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of vulnerable computers. This issue may be prone to widespread automated exploits.
Attackers require authenticated access on Windows Vista and Server 2008 platforms to exploit this issue.
This vulnerability affects Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008.
