Microsoft Windows WSDAPI code execution
| ms-win-wsdapi-code-execution (53985) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper validation of MIME headers by the Web Service on Devices API (WSDAPI). By sending a specially-crafted WSDAPI message containing a MIME header or a query response to the WSD services running on TCP port 5357 and 5358, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
