This update resolves a newly-discovered vulnerability in Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise from Business Objects. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (all versions) and Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager redistribute Crystal Reports and are therefore affected by the vulnerability. Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.2 redistributes Crystal Enterprise, which is affected in the same way. The vulnerability is documented in the Vulnerability Details section of this bulletin.
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could retrieve and delete files through the Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise Web viewers on an affected system. The number of files of files that are impacted by this vulnerability would depend on the security context of the affected component that is used by the Crystal Web viewer.
