Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Windows Explorer does not properly free memory when saving Windows Search files. This may be exploited to execute arbitrary code by saving a specially crafted search file using Windows Explorer.
2) Windows Explorer does not properly handle parameters when parsing the search-ms protocol. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a website with a specially crafted call to the search-ms protocol handler.
The vulnerabilities may be exploited to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening and saving a specially crafted saved-search file or visiting a malicious website.
