Posted on 17 September 2009
CriticalSeverity Rating: Critical - Revision Note: V1.1 (September 16, 2009): Corrected the list of bulletins replaced by the update for Windows Media Format Runtime, under Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Windows Media Format. Either vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opened a specially crafted media file. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an 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.
