high

Description

Buffer overflow in the Windows NT Message Compiler (MC) 1.00.5239 on Microsoft Windows XP allows local users to gain privileges via a long MC-filename. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a reliable third party who states that the compiler is not a privileged program, so privilege boundaries cannot be crossed
