Vulnerability Information
Multiple Windows Media Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Windows. The
vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens specially
crafted media content that is hosted on a website. To exploit the
vulnerabilities, an attacker could host media content on a website or send an
attachment in an email and then convince a user to open it.
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could take control
of an affected system remotely. Users whose accounts are configured to have
fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate
with administrative user rights.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Windows
handles resources in the media library.
The following table contains links to the standard entry for each
vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
Vulnerability Title CVE number Publicly disclosed Exploited
Windows Media Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2016-0101 No No
Windows Media Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2016-0098 No No
