The hotfix (MS06-043, 920214) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft Windows' has not been applied. Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Server 2003 SP1 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the inetcomm.dll file, caused by improper parsing of the MHTML protocol. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page or HTML e-mail that could potentially lead to remote code execution if a user visited a specially crafted Web site or clicked a link in a specially crafted e-mail message.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
