CVE-2008-3465

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows versions 2000 SP4 through 2000 SP4, XP SP2 through XP SP3, Server 2003 SP1 through Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold through Vista SP1, and Server 2008

Description A heap-based buffer overflow in the GDI API allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a WMF file with a malformed file-size parameter. This issue could be exploited if a third-party application uses a specific Microsoft API to copy a specially crafted WMF image file, potentially allowing an attacker to take complete control of an affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
