Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2006-11-06
Patch Published: 2007-04-03
CVE [?]: CVE-2006-5586, CVE-2006-5758, CVE-2007-0038, CVE-2007-1211, CVE-2007-1212, CVE-2007-1213, CVE-2007-1215, CVE-2007-1765
CPE [?]: cpe:/o:microsoft:windows
Exploited by Malware: True

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through the email client or the web browser.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Windows with a bug in the Animated Cursor (ANI) handling routine that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host by sending a specially crafted email or by luring a user on the remote host into visiting a rogue web site.

Additionally, the system is vulnerable to :

- Local Privilege Elevation (GDI, EMF, Font Rasterizer)

- Denial of Service (WMF)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.
