Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 9 on Windows XP SP2 invokes Internet Explorer to render HTML documents contained inside some media files, regardless of what default web browser is configured, which might allow remote attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in software that the user does not expect to run, as demonstrated by the HTMLView parameter in an .asx file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft MSN Messenger 6.2, 7.0, and 7.5, and Live Messenger 8.0 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving video conversation handling in Web Cam and video chat sessions.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1, 9, 10, and 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a skin file (WMZ or WMD) with crafted header information that causes a size mismatch between compressed and decompressed data and triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, aka "Windows Media Player Code Execution Vulnerability Parsing Skins."

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1, 9, 10, and 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a skin file (WMZ or WMD) with crafted header information that is not properly handled during decompression, aka "Windows Media Player Code Execution Vulnerability Decompressing Skins."

Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 (wmplayer.exe) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted .au file that triggers a divide-by-zero error, as demonstrated by iapetus.au.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, the advisory is from a reliable source.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 through Vista allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (persistent reboot) via a malformed ANI file, which results in memory corruption when processing cursors, animated cursors, and icons, a similar issue to CVE-2005-0416, as originally demonstrated using Internet Explorer 6 and 7. NOTE: this issue might be a duplicate of CVE-2007-0038; if so, then use CVE-2007-0038 instead of this identifier.

Buffer overflow in the Trend Micro Scan Engine 8.000 and 8.300 before virus pattern file 4.245.00, as used in other products such as Cyber Clean Center (CCC) Cleaner, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed UPX compressed executable.

Telestream Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for Quicktime 2.1.0.33 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASF_File_Properties_Object size field in a WMV file, which triggers memory corruption.

Windows Media Player 10.00.00.4036 in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a .MID (MIDI) file with a malformed header chunk without any track chunks, possibly involving (1) number of tracks of (2) time division fields that are set to 0.
