Description A buffer overflow issue in the Windows NT Message Compiler allows local users to potentially gain privileges via a long MC-filename. However, this issue has been disputed by a reliable third party, stating that the compiler is not a privileged program and thus privilege boundaries cannot be crossed.

Recommendations For Windows NT Message Compiler version 1.00.5239, consider restricting access to the compiler to minimize potential risks until a definitive resolution is determined. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
