Technical Description

A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Windows, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused due to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Marshalling Engine not updating its internal state in an appropriate manner, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted RPC message to a vulnerable third-party RPC application.

Note: Microsoft Windows is not delivered with any RPC servers or clients that are subject to exploitation of this vulnerability. However, the vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Windows RPC runtime and could affect third-party RPC applications.
