Microsoft Step-by-Step Interactive Training bookmark link buffer overflow
| ms-stepbystep-bookmark-bo (30596) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Step-by-Step Interactive Training is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of bookmark link files. By creating a malformed bookmark link (cbo, cbl, or cbm) file and persuading a victim to open the file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by hosting the malicious file on a Web site or sending the file as an email attachment.
