Microsoft DirectX Media DXTMSFT.DLL ActiveX Control Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

Microsoft DirectX Media ActiveX control is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to crash applications using the affected ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Given the nature of these issues, attackers may also be able to execute code, but this has not been confirmed.
