Buffer overflow in mplay32.exe of Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3 through 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long mp3 filename command line argument. NOTE: since the only known attack vector requires command line access, this may not be a vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3, when installed on Solaris, installs executables with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to delete or modify the executables to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 and 11.0.5721.5145 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted .mpg file.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 does not properly perform colorspace conversion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .AVI file. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Windows Media Player ActiveX control in Windows Media Player (WMP) 9 on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 and XP SP2 and SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted media content, aka "Media Player Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

Heap-based buffer overflow in the WMCheckURLScheme function in WMVCORE.DLL in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 10.00.00.4036 on Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via a long HREF attribute, using an unrecognized protocol, in a REF element in an ASX PlayList file.

Buffer overflow in the Windows Media Format Runtime in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4 and Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Advanced Systems Format (ASF) file.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 executes scripts in custom skin (.WMS) files, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via a skin that contains a malicious script, aka the ".WMS Script Execution" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Active Stream Redirector (.ASX) file, aka the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service in RTF-enabled email clients via an embedded OCX control that is not closed properly, aka the "OCX Attachment" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) file.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Windows Media Station (.NSC) file.

Windows Media Player 7 and earlier stores Internet shortcuts in a user's Temporary Files folder with a fixed filename instead of in the Internet Explorer cache, which causes the HTML in those shortcuts to run in the Local Computer Zone instead of the Internet Zone, which allows remote attackers to read certain files.

Buffer overflows in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) a long version tag in an .ASX file, or (2) a long banner tag, a variant of the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability as discussed in MS:MS00-090.

Windows Media Player 7 allows remote attackers to execute malicious Java applets in Internet Explorer clients by enclosing the applet in a skin file named skin.wmz, then referencing that skin in the codebase parameter to an applet tag, aka the Windows Media Player Skins File Download" vulnerability.

The WMP ActiveX Control in Windows Media Player 7 allows remote attackers to execute commands in Internet Explorer via javascript URLs, a variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Media Player versions 6.4 and 7.1 and Media Player for Windows XP allow remote attackers to bypass Internet Explorer's (IE) security mechanisms and run code via an executable .wma media file with a license installation requirement stored in the IE cache, aka the "Cache Path Disclosure via Windows Media Player".

The Windows Media Device Manager (WMDM) Service in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 on Windows 2000 systems allows local users to obtain LocalSystem rights via a program that calls the WMDM service to connect to an invalid local storage device, aka "Privilege Elevation through Windows Media Device Manager Service".

Windows Media Player (WMP) 8.00.00.4477, and possibly other versions, automatically detects and executes .wmf and other content, even when the file's extension or content type does not specify .wmf, which could make it easier for attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via Trojan horse files containing .wmf content.

The getItemInfoByAtom function in the ActiveX control for Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0 returns a 0 if the file does not exist and the size of the file if the file exists, which allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files on the local system.

Windows Media Player 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG file containing large (1) width or (2) height values, aka the "PNG Processing Vulnerability."

The Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0 ActiveX control may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script in the Local computer zone via the (1) artist or (2) song fields of a music file, if the file is processed using Internet Explorer.

Multiple buffer overflows in libpng 1.2.5 and earlier, as used in multiple products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed PNG images in which (1) the pnghandletRNS function does not properly validate the length of transparency chunk (tRNS) data, or the (2) pnghandlesBIT or (3) pnghandlehIST functions do not perform sufficient bounds checking.
