Synopsis

Opening a specially crafted media file could result in arbitrary code execution.

Description

The version of Windows Media installed on the remote host is affected by one or both of the following vulnerabilities :

- The Winmm.dll library as used by Windows Media Player does not properly handle specially crafted MIDI files. (CVE-2012-0003)

- A DirectShow component of DirectX does not properly handle specially crafted media files. (CVE-2012-0004)

An attacker who tricked a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted MIDI or media file could leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2 as well as Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008.
