Heap-based buffer overflow in the Remote Administration Protocol (RAP) implementation in the LanmanWorkstation service in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted RAP response packets, aka "Remote Administration Protocol Heap Overflow Vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
