Microsoft Windows Media File Format ASF multiple buffer overflows
| media-file-bo (33225) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows Media File Format is vulnerable to multiple heap-based buffer overflows, caused by improper validation of Advanced Systems Format (ASF) files. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ASF file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending the malicious file as an email attachment or hosting it on a Web site.
