Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-065  Important
Vulnerability in Message Queuing Could Allow Remote Code Execution (937894)

This important security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability
in Message Queuing Service (MSMQ) that could allow remote code execution in
implementations on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, or elevation of privilege
in implementations on Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
An attacker must have valid logon credentials to exploit this vulnerability.
An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
create new accounts.

This is an important security update for supported editions of Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server and a moderate security update for supported editions
of Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional.

This security update addresses this vulnerability by validating the input

Vulnerability Details
	
Message Queuing Service Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
CVE-2007-3039

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Message Queuing Service
when it incorrectly validates input strings before passing the strings to a
buffer. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a
specially crafted MSMQ message that could allow remote code execution in a
remote attack scenario on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and a local
elevation of privilege in a local scenario on Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional and Windows XP. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
