Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of the ART image file format. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when the user views a malicious web site, which contains a specially crafted ART image, using Internet Explorer or opens a HTML e-mail message containing the image.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution.
