The remote host is running a version of Microsoft Works for Windows that is affected by a heap overflow vulnerability. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted Works file, the attacker may be able to leverage this issue to run arbitrary code on the host subject to the user’s privileges.
