Insecure Library Loading in Internet Connection Signup Wizard Could Allow
Remote Code Execution (2443105)
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in the
Internet Connection Signup Wizard of Microsoft Windows. This security update
is rated Important for all supported editions of Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003. All supported editions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008,
Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 are not affected by the vulnerability.
For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected
Software, in this section.
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a
.ins or .isp file located in the same network folder as a specially crafted
library file. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted
remote file system location or WebDAV share and open a document from this
location that is then loaded by a vulnerable application.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in
which the Internet Connection Signup Wizard loads external libraries. For
more information about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the
next section, Vulnerability Information.

Vulnerability Information
Internet Connection Signup Wizard Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability -
CVE-2010-3144
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Internet
Connection Signup Wizard, a component of Microsoft Windows, handles the
loading of DLL files. 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.
