Detailed Description |
| Business Impact: |
Although the application is not a remote listening service, the impact can still be serious. Attackers may host malformed PNG files on webservers in such a way that they will be handled by Windows Media Player when unsuspecting users click on them, leading to exploitation. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could be utilized to gain unauthorized access to networks and machines. In turn this can lead to the exposure of confidential information, loss of productivity, and further network compromise. |

| Technical Description: |
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in a component of Windows Media Player
(WMP) that a specially crafted PNG file could exploit. The vulnerability,
which X-Force feels is trivial to exploit, is a result of unsafe handing
of untrusted data. Although this vulnerability is not in a remotely listening
service and not wormable, a crafty attacker can create a scenario where
an unsuspecting user will download a malicious file and use WMP to view it.
This would be an effective vulnerability to use in a targeted attack against
an individual or enterprise. |
