Microsoft Windows WMF/EMF Image Format Rendering Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows WMF/EMF Image Format Rendering Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows WMF/EMF image-rendering library is affected by a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly verify the lengths of strings contained within an affected image file before copying them into finite buffers.

Any code execution that occurs will take place with SYSTEM privileges because of the nature of the affected library. This will also permit local privilege-escalation attacks.
