Synopsis

It is possible to execute arbitrary code on the remote Windows host using DirectShow.

Description

The version of Microsoft DirectShow installed on the remote host is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered when parsing AVI media files.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into opening a specially crafted AVI file, this issue could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.
