Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the processing of PEAP authentication requests (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). This can be exploited to corrupt memory by sending a specially crafted PEAP authentication request to an Internet Authentication Service (IAS) server.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
NOTE: By default, no vectors exist to exploit this vulnerability on Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems SP2. However, third-party applications can potentially render a system vulnerable.
