Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges or by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) service when validating permissions and the length of certain messages before copying the data to an allocated buffer.
Successful exploitation allows malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. On certain configurations of Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 with the Telephony service enabled (disabled by default), it is also possible to exploit the vulnerability without a local account. However, only authenticated users can access the service on Windows Server 2003 and hence exploit the vulnerability.
