Summary

The Microsoft PPTP Service on Windows XP and Windows 2000 is susceptible to a buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to disrupt service and potentially execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability can be exploited through specially crafted PPTP packets containing malformed control data. When triggered, it may hang the service, leading to a denial of service, and exposes the system to further attacks. Proper updates and configurations are critical for mitigating this security risk.
