Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a known 
vulnerability in the Microsoft implementation of the ASN.1 Library.

--
Impact:

--
Detailed Information:
A buffer overflow condition in the Microsoft implementation of the ASN.1 
Library. It may be possible for an attacker to exploit this condition by 
sending specially crafted authentication packets to a host running a 
vulnerable operating system.

When the taget system decodes the ASN.1 data, exploit code may be included 
in the data that may be excuted on the host with system level privileges. 
Alternatively, the malformed data may cause the service to become 
unresponsive thus causing the DoS condition to occur.
