Microsoft Windows Media Player Remote PNG Image Format Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer overflow vulnerability affects the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image format processing functionality of Microsoft Windows Media Player. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the size of image data prior to copying it into static process buffers.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SYSTEM user. This will facilitate unauthorized access and privilege escalation.
