Secunia integrated with Microsoft WSUS

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

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) during the handling of replication packets. This can be exploited to write 16 bytes to an arbitrary memory location by sending a specially crafted WINS replication packet to a vulnerable server.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in Windows 2000 SP2 through SP4. However, other versions are reportedly also believed to be affected.
