| win-ms08kb950974-update (44079) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows Knowledge Base Article 950974 update is not installed on the system, which could allow a remote attacker to exploit the following vulnerability:
Microsoft Event System could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper handling of per-user subscriptions. By logging into the system and hooking a subscription to an event, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system in the context of the local system.
Microsoft Event System could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper validation of the range of indexes. By logging into the system and locating a pointer to exploit code at a location predictable to an array, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system in the context of the local system.
Consequences:
Informational
Remedy:
Apply the appropriate patches for your system, as listed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-049. See References.
