"The Microsoft Exchange Server installed on the remote host
is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by
a remote code execution vulnerability :
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
Microsoft Exchange software when the software fails to
properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could run
arbitrary code in the context of the System user. An
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or
delete data; or create new accounts. Exploitation of the
vulnerability requires that a specially crafted email be
sent to a vulnerable Exchange server. The security
update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how
Microsoft Exchange handles objects in memory.
