The remote Windows host is affected by a flaw due to a failure to properly validate a destination buffer when retrieving icon information from a specially crafted Microsoft Management Console (.msc) file. An unauthenticated, remote attacker, by tricking a victim into opening a malicious .msc file, can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service.
