RISK: Medium Risk

TYPE: Operating Systems - Windows OS

TYPE: Windows OS

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.
