Microsoft: WMP crashing code does not mean vulnerability | |
|

Last week, reports of a vulnerability in Windows Media Player (WMP) started coming in and Microsoft began to investigate. The issue affects version 11 and earlier of the software, and according to the initial report (now updated), it could be exploited remotely via a specially-crafted SND, MIDI, or WAV file to trigger an integer overflow where a hacker could execute arbitrary code. Microsoft has since investigated the problem and while the company has admitted that WMP does indeed crash under the said circumstances, there is no security problem to be worried about. | ||
