  Win Media Player hole surrenders your machine
Time: 08:20 EST/13:20 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson

The Windows Media Player ASX (Active Stream Redirector) processor contains an unchecked buffer susceptible to an overrun which could enable an attacker to run arbitrary code on a machine with the victim's level of permission, a Microsoft security bulletin warns. Media Player 6.4 and 7.0 are affected; and earlier, currently-unsupported versions 'may or may not be,' the company says. Developing an exploit would require the cobbling together of a malicious file which could be circulated via e-mail or linked on a malicious Web site. All that remains is to entice the unlucky victim to open it. Naming it sororitysuck.asx ought to do the trick here, we reckon.
