CVE Number Vulnerability Product Severity Date
MS14-047 Vulnerability in LRPC Could Allow Security Feature Bypass (2978668) Windows 7 Important 13-08-2014

Technical Information

Brief overview of the risk:
The vulnerability could allow security feature bypass if an attacker uses the vulnerability in conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability, that takes advantage of the ASLR bypass to run arbitrary code.
Detailed Information on the risk:

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (LRPC). The problem is that an LRPC server may leak the message it receives from the client if the message is of a specific type and has a data view attached (which is not expected for messages of the type). RPC considers this an error and returns, but does not free the message. This allows the client to fill up the address space of the server with such messages.
