Original NVD Description

The RpcGetPrinterData function in the Print Spooler (spoolsv.exe) service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 and earlier, and possibly Windows XP SP1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an RPC request that specifies a large 'offered' value (output buffer size), a variant of CVE-2005-3644.
