http://secunia.com/advisories/37314/
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 unspecified error in the
processing of WSD messages and can be exploited to corrupt memory via
a WSDAPI message containing a specially crafted header.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a service or application uses the API or performs
remote device discovery.
