#Windows Media

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** This attack requires a user to open a specially crafted file from the attacker to initiate remote code execution.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Codecs Library allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file. * In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. * In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
