| win-ms08kb948590-update (41473) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows Knowledge Base Article 948850 update is not installed on the system, which could allow an attacker to exploit the following vulnerabilities:
Microsoft Windows graphic device interface (GDI) is vulnerable to an heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of EMF and WMF image file headers. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted EMF or WMF file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Microsoft Windows graphic device interface (GDI) is vulnerable to an stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of EMF image filename parameters. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted EMF file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
