Vulnerability Information

MJPEG Decompression Vulnerability - CVE-2009-0084

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Microsoft DirectShow
handles supported format files. This vulnerability could allow code 
execution if a user opened a specially crafted MJPEG file. If a user is 
logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully 
exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an 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.
