Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-052  Critical

Vulnerabilities in GDI+ Could Allow Remote Code Execution (954593)

  Published: September 9, 2008

  Version: 1.0

General Information

Executive Summary

  This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities 
  in Microsoft Windows GDI+. These vulnerabilities could allow remote code 
  execution if a user viewed a specially crafted image file using affected 
  software or browsed a Web site that contains specially crafted content. 
  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.

  This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of 
  Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, 
  Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 when installed on Microsoft 
  Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006, SQL 
  Server 2000 Reporting Services Service Pack 2, all supported editions of 
  SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Report Viewer 2005 Service Pack 1 
  Redistributable Package, and Microsoft Report Viewer 2008 Redistributable

  Microsoft Office XP, Microsoft Office 2003, 2007 Microsoft Office System, 
  Microsoft Visio 2002, Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2003, Microsoft 
  Works 8, and Microsoft Forefront Client Security 1.0. For more information, 
  see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

  The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way 
  that GDI+ handles viewing malformed images. For more information about the 
  vulnerabilities, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for 
  the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability 
  Information.

Vulnerability Information

GDI+ VML Buffer Overrun Vulnerability - CVE-2007-5348

  A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that GDI+ 
  handles gradient sizes. The vulnerability could allow remote code 
  execution if a user browses to a Web site that contains specially 
  crafted content. 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.
