Description: A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Windows in the graphics rendering engine. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) image that, when loaded by the target user, will cause arbitrary
code to be executed on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
The image file does
not need to have a '.wmf' file extension, as the graphics rendering engine can detect the specific type of image file even if the
file extension has been changed.
This vulnerability can be exploited via an HTML page.
A demonstration exploit is circulating
in the wild.
A demonstration exploit for the Metasploit Framework is available at:
