Microsoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2007 CVSS score >= 6

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Publisher allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PUB file, possibly involving wordart.

Stack-based buffer overflow in mplayer2.exe in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4, when used with the 3ivx 4.5.1 or 5.0.1 codec, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain .mp4 file, possibly a related issue to CVE-2007-6402.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the awApi4.AnswerWorks.1 ActiveX control in awApi4.dll 4.0.0.42, as used by Vantage Linguistics AnswerWorks, and Intuit Clearly Bookkeeping, ProSeries, QuickBooks, Quicken, QuickTax, and TurboTax, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) GetHistory, (2) GetSeedQuery, (3) SetSeedQuery, and possibly other methods. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Microsoft Office 2007 12.0.6015.5000 and MSO 12.0.6017.5000 do not sign the metadata of Office Open XML (OOXML) documents, which makes it easier for remote attackers to modify Dublin Core metadata fields, as demonstrated by the (1) LastModifiedBy and (2) creator fields in docProps/core.xml in the OOXML ZIP container.

The CryptGenRandom function in Microsoft Windows 2000 generates predictable values, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to reduce the effectiveness of cryptographic mechanisms, as demonstrated by attacks on (1) forward security and (2) backward security, related to use of eight instances of the RC4 cipher, and possibly a related issue to CVE-2007-3898.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft msjet40.dll 4.0.8618.0 (aka Microsoft Jet Engine), as used by Access 2003 in Microsoft Office 2003 SP3, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MDB file database file containing a column structure with a modified column count. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2005-0944.

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1, as used in Windows Mobile 5.0, uses weak encryption (XOR obfuscation with a fixed key) when sending the user's PIN/Password over the USB connection from the host to the device, which might make it easier for attackers to decode a PIN/Password obtained by (1) sniffing or (2) spoofing the docking process.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass the "File Download - Security Warning" dialog box and download arbitrary .exe files by placing a '?' (question mark) followed by a non-.exe filename after the .exe filename, as demonstrated by (1) .txt, (2) .cda, (3) .log, (4) .dif, (5) .sol, (6) .htt, (7) .itpc, (8) .itms, (9) .dvr-ms, (10) .dib, (11) .asf, (12) .tif, and unspecified other extensions, a different issue than CVE-2004-1331. NOTE: this issue might not cross privilege boundaries, although it does bypass an intended protection mechanism.

Unspecified vulnerability in Server Message Block Version 2 (SMBv2) signing support in Microsoft Windows Vista allows remote attackers to force signature re-computation and execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMBv2 packet, aka "SMBv2 Signing Vulnerability."

Unspecified vulnerability in the Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) in the kernel in Microsoft Windows Vista allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors involving "legacy reply paths."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "unexpected method calls to HTML objects," aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 through 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted website using Javascript that creates, modifies, deletes, and accesses document objects using the tags property, which triggers heap corruption, related to uninitialized or deleted objects, a different issue than CVE-2007-3902 and CVE-2007-3903, and a variant of "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Insecure method vulnerability in the FPOLE.OCX 6.0.8450.0 ActiveX control in Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs by specifying them as an argument to the FoxDoCmd function.

Microsoft Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a certain PNG file with a large tEXt chunk that possibly triggers an integer overflow in PNG chunk size handling, as demonstrated by badlycrafted.png.

Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 9 on Windows XP SP2 invokes Internet Explorer to render HTML documents contained inside some media files, regardless of what default web browser is configured, which might allow remote attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in software that the user does not expect to run, as demonstrated by the HTMLView parameter in an .asx file.

A certain ActiveX control in PDWizard.ocx 6.0.0.9782 and earlier in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 exposes dangerous (1) StartProcess, (2) SyncShell, (3) SaveAs, (4) CABDefaultURL, (5) CABFileName, and (6) CABRunFile methods, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs and have other impacts, as demonstrated using absolute pathnames in arguments to StartProcess and SyncShell.

Buffer overflow in the SQLServer ActiveX control in the Distributed Management Objects OLE DLL (sqldmo.dll) 2000.085.2004.00 in Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager 8.05.2004 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long second argument to the Start method.

Stack-based buffer overflow in certain ActiveX controls in (1) FPOLE.OCX 6.0.8450.0 and (2) Foxtlib.ocx, as used in the Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6.0 fpole 1.0 Type Library; and Internet Explorer 5.01, 6 SP1 and SP2, and 7; allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long first argument to the FoxDoCmd function.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Visual Basic project (vbp) file containing a long Reference line, related to VBP_Open and OLE. NOTE: there are limited usage scenarios under which this would be a vulnerability.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an invalid color table size when parsing the color table atom (CTAB) in a movie file, related to the CTAB RGB values.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed elements when parsing (1) Poly type (0x0070 through 0x0074) and (2) PackBitsRgn field (0x0099) opcodes in a PICT image.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the QuickTime VR extension 7.2.0.240 in QuickTime.qts in Apple QuickTime before 7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a QTVR (QuickTime Virtual Reality) movie file containing a large size field in the atom header of a panorama sample atom.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 embeds FTP credentials in HTML files that are retrieved during an FTP session, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading the HTML source, as demonstrated by a (1) .htm, (2) .html, or (3) .mht file.

Stack-based buffer overflow in a certain ActiveX control in VDT70.DLL in Microsoft Visual Database Tools Database Designer 7.0 for Microsoft Visual Studio 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the NotSafe method. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2007-2885 or CVE-2005-2127.

Dbgv.sys in Microsoft Sysinternals DebugView before 4.72 provides an unspecified mechanism for copying data into kernel memory, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
