Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error when parsing AVI file headers can be exploited to corrupt memory.

2) An integer overflow error when parsing AVI files can be exploited to corrupt memory.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. opens a malicious AVI file or receives malicious streaming content.
