Microsoft Windows2k3 Active Directory 'BROWSER ELECTION' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges or cause a denial of service condition in Microsoft Windows 2K3 Service Pack 2 and prior due to an error in Active Directory in 'Mrxsmb.sys', which fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data in crafted BROWSER ELECTION request
