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 error in the WebDAV
Mini-Redirector (a.k.a Web Client service) when handling long
pathnames in WebDAV responses. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted WebDAV response.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
