Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker created a specially crafted SMB packet and sent the packet to an affected system.
Detailed Information on the risk:
An authenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol software handles specially crafted SMB packets. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted network message to a system running the Server service as an authenticated user. While an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system, attempts to exploit this vulnerability will most probably result in a Denial of Service condition.
