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 a boundary error in the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) service when processing certain headers in an HTTP request. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted HTTP request sent to the service.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with "Local Service" privileges.

Solution:
Apply patches.
