Description

HyperTerminal application for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 does not properly validate the length of a value that is saved in a session file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious HyperTerminal session file (.ht), web site, or Telnet URL contained in an e-mail message, triggering a buffer overflow.
