Microsoft Message Queuing RPC code execution
| win-msmq-rpc-code-execution (45537) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper parsing of RPC requests by the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) service. By sending a specially-crafted RPC request to a system with the (MSMQ) service installed, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
