DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows 2000, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing RPC
requests to the Message Queuing (MSMQ) service. This can be exploited
to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted
RPC request to the affected service.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with
SYSTEM privileges, but requires that the MSMQ service is enabled (not
installed by default).

SOLUTION:
Apply patch.
