Microsoft Windows RRAS Heap-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Allowing Remote Code Execution

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS). This vulnerability allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code remotely over the network. Exploitation requires user interaction, as an attacker must trick a user into sending a request to a malicious server via the RRAS Snap-in. The server would then return harmful data that could lead to arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in remote code execution on the affected system.
