Computer network audit

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability enables an attacker to run code with local system privileges and computer network audit. This enables an attacker to install programs; view, change, or delete data; and create new accounts with full privileges. Because RPC is active by default on all versions of the Windows operating system, any user who can deliver a malformed TCP request to an RPC interface of a vulnerable computer could attempt to exploit the vulnerability. It is even possible to trigger this vulnerability through other means, such as logging into an affected system and exploiting the vulnerable component locally.
