Description:
Symantec has reported a vulnerability in certain old versions of Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in the graphics rendering engine when processing WMF (Windows Metafile) images. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user e.g. visits a malicious web site.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
