Microsoft · Windows Server 2003 · CVE-2013-3878
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version SP2
**Description**
The issue allows local users to gain privileges by operating an LRPC server that sends a crafted LPC port message. An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Local Remote Procedure Call (LRPC) where an attacker spoofs an LRPC Server and uses a specially crafted LPC port message to cause a stack-based buffer overflow condition on the LRPC client. This could allow an attacker to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full administrator rights.
**Recommendations**
For Microsoft Windows XP versions SP2 through SP3, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version SP2, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the LRPC client to minimize the risk of exploitation.
