Microsoft Windows Vista/2008 - ICMPv6 Router Advertisement Remote Code Execution
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/38061/info
Microsoft Windows TCP/IP protocol implementation is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
