Synopsis
Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host by sending a malformed file to a victim.Description
The remote host contains a version of Microsoft Windows missing a critical security update to fix several vulnerabilities in the Graphic Rendering Engine, and in the way Windows handles Metafiles.An attacker could exploit these flaws to execute arbitrary code on the remote host by sending a specially crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) or Enhanced Metafile (EMF) to a victim on the remote host. When viewing the malformed file, a buffer overflow condition occurs that may allow the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2000, XP SP2 and 2003.See Also
