Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-072: Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Enable System Compromise (Q329390) | |
|

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

The Windows Shell is responsible for providing the basic framework of the Windows user interface experience. It is most familiar to users as the Windows Desktop, but also provides a variety of other functions to help define the user's computing session, including organizing files and folders, and providing the means to start applications. An unchecked buffer exists in one of the functions used by the Windows Shell to extract custom attribute information from audio files. A security vulnerability results because it is possible for a malicious user to mount a buffer overrun attack and attempt to exploit this flaw. | ||
