Discussion

Microsoft Windows Malformed AVI File Parsing Remote Integer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote integer-overflow vulnerability that arises when an affected Windows component handles a malicious Audio Video Interleave (AVI) file.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected user. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

NOTE: Since the affected Windows operating system component is independent of Windows Media Player, this issue does not specifically affect Windows Media Player.
