| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS06-052, KB919007) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft PGM' has not been applied. Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is only supported when Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) 3.0 is installed. The MSMQ service is not installed by default. Microsoft XP is vulnerable to a arbitrary remote code execution attack, caused by a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Microsoft PGM. By sending a specially crafted multicast message to an affected system, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
