Summary:
Version Number: V1.0
Revision Date: 02-10-2004
Impact of Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution
Maximum Severity Rating: Critical

A security vulnerability exists in the Microsoft ASN.1 Library that
could allow code execution on an affected system. The vulnerability is
caused by an unchecked buffer in the Microsoft ASN.1 Library, which
could result in a buffer overflow.

An attacker who successfully exploited this buffer overflow
vulnerability could execute code with system privileges on an affected
system. The attacker could then take any action on the system, including
installing programs, viewing data, changing data, deleting data, or
creating new accounts with full privileges.

Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) is a data standard that is used by
many applications and devices in the technology industry for allowing
the normalization and understanding of data across various platforms.
