Microsoft Windows DirectX MJPEG decoder code execution
| multimedia-codec-stack-bo (39052) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows DirectX could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper error checking on MJPEG video streams embedded within Audio Video Interleave (AVI) or Advanced Systems Format (ASF) media files. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ASF or AVI, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
