Malicious hackers could exploit the latest vulnerability by creating a program to send improperly formatted RPC (Remote Procedure Call) messages to a vulnerable machine. Those messages could cause a buffer overflow that would enable attackers to place and run their own computer code on the machine, without requiring the machine's owner to open an e-mail attachment or perform any other action, Microsoft said. (Microsoft's security bulletin can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-039.asp.)
