Secunia integrated with Microsoft WSUS

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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in netapi32.dll when processing directory traversal character sequences in path names. This can be exploited to corrupt stack memory by e.g. sending RPC requests containing specially crafted path names to the Server Service component.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires authenticated access on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

NOTE: The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited.
