A unchecked buffer in the popular Netcat tool for Windows could allow remote code execution. The vulnerability, discovered by Hat Squad, can be exploited when using the netcat -e option. The -e option redirects data from an application launched by Netcat. If you use the tool you should probably upgrade soon. A new version (v1.11) is available at the Vulnwatch Web site.
