TITLE:
Microsoft Windows RPC Marshalling Engine Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35373

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35373/

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

The vulnerability is caused due the RPC Marshalling Engine not
updating its internal state correctly. This may result in a pointer
being read from an incorrect location by sending a specially crafted
RPC message.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

NOTE: According to Microsoft, no supported editions of Microsoft
Windows are delivered with any RPC servers or clients that are
subject to exploitation of this vulnerability. However, third-party
applications using RPC may present a valid attack vector.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
