Vulnerability Details:

Microsoft XML Core Services Vulnerability - CVE-2007-2223

   A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft XML Core
   Services that could allow an attacker who successfully exploited this
   vulnerability to make changes to the system with the permissions of
   the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user
   rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected
   system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or
   delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose
   accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could
   be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user
   rights.
