FAQ for Movie Maker and Producer Buffer Overflow Vulnerability - CVE-2010-0265

What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system remotely. An attacker could then install programs or view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

What causes the vulnerability?
The vulnerability exists in the way that Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft Producer 2003 parse the project file formats. This vulnerability requires a malicious user to send a specially crafted Movie Maker or Producer file and convince the user to open the specially crafted file.

What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

In an e-mail attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted Movie Maker or Producer project file to the user and by convincing the user to open the file.

In a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web site that contains a specially crafted Movie Maker or Producer project file that is used to attempt to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to convince them to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the attacker's site, and then convince them to open the specially crafted Movie Maker or Producer project file.

How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted Movie Maker or Producer project file with an affected version of Windows Movie Maker or Microsoft Producer.

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
Windows systems where either Windows Movie Maker is used, or systems where Microsoft Producer 2003 is used, are primarily at risk.

What does the update do?
The update for Movie Maker addresses the vulnerability by changing the way that Windows Movie Maker parses Windows Movie Maker project files. The download for Microsoft Producer 2003 upgrades the installation of Microsoft Producer 2003 to the new version, Microsoft Producer.

When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?
No. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through responsible disclosure.

When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?
