High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple integer overflows in the Graphics Rendering Engine (GDI32.DLL) in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Metafile (EMF) format images that lead to heap-based buffer overflows, as demonstrated using MRBP16::bCheckRecord.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of remote code execution without authentication, which can lead to full system compromise, data theft, or service disruption.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately apply security patches provided by Microsoft as part of security update MS05-053 and restrict processing of WMF and EMF images from untrusted sources.
