APP: Microsoft Windows Media Service Remote Code Execution
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Windows Media Service. A successful attack can allow attackers to take complete control of an affected system. Thereby enabling them to install programs; view, change, delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Extended Description
Microsoft Windows Media Service is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Update (April 21, 2010): Microsoft reports that the patch released as MS10-025 does not resolve this issue. Microsoft intends to release a new fix in the following week; this BID will be updated as more information emerges. Update (April 27, 2010): Updated MS10-025 includes a new fix.
