A Local Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .wav files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .wav files.
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .lsm files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .lsm files.
An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG parser of Atlantis Word Processor.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the IE rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerability.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how the scripting engine handles objects in memory.

Microsoft Windows Shell does not properly validate file paths, allowing the execution of ".SettingContent-ms" files from outside the "ImmersiveControlPanel" folder.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of DPB files. When parsing the wKPFString attribute, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data.
A Buffer Overflow exists when parsing .mp3/wma files. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling a crafted .mp3/wma files.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of VPR files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a buffer.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of HSC files. When parsing the IndirectAddrR attribute, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of Administrator.
