Synopsis

The remote host has multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host has an ASN.1 library with multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities. These issues could lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003.
