Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows 2000, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control (agentdpv.dll) when handling specially crafted URLs passed as argument to a certain unspecified method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a user e.g. visits a malicious website.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
