Heap-based buffer overflow in the BERDecBitString function in Microsoft ASN.1 library (MSASN1.DLL) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via nested constructed bit strings, which leads to a realloc of a non-null pointer and causes the function to overwrite previously freed memory, as demonstrated using a SPNEGO token with a constructed bit string during HTTP authentication, and a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0818. NOTE: the researcher has claimed that MS:MS04-007 fixes this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Microsoft ASN.1 parsing flaw that could let a remote attacker run code by sending specially formed ASN.1 data. The public record does not list affected product versions or a vendor-confirmed fix in this bundle, so exposure assessment depends on legacy Microsoft inventory and patch records. Exposure is uncertain because the bundle lists affected vendor, product, and versions as n/a. Prioritize legacy Microsoft systems or services that use MSASN1.DLL and process ASN.1/SPNEGO authentication data, especially internet-facing HTTP authentication paths. Treat as high priority only where legacy Microsoft systems remain in scope. The business risk is remote code execution, but current urgency is bounded by age, uncertain affected versions, and no KEV evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Check Microsoft guidance and patch history for MSASN1.DLL and MS04-007 applicability.; Identify and retire unsupported Microsoft systems that may contain vulnerable MSASN1.DLL versions.; Restrict exposure of services processing SPNEGO or ASN.1 authentication data..
