Microsoft Windows C Run-Time Library Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (2654428). This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS12-013. The flaw is due to the way 'Msvcrt.dll' calculates the size of a buffer in memory, allowing data to be copied into memory that has not been properly allocated. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as the logged-on user
