Vulnerability Description A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Media Player network sharing service.

Services that run as the Network Service account access network resources by using the credentials of the computer account. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability execute arbitrary code remotely in the context of the current application. The vulnerability is due to the way Microsoft Windows Media Network Sharing Service processes Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) packets. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specially crafted RTSP packet and sending it to an affected system. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to take complete control of an affected system.
