Microsoft » Windows 98se : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score >= 9

An unspecified Microsoft WMF parsing application, as used in Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 on Windows 2000 SP4, and 5.5 SP2 on Windows Millennium, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute code via a crafted WMF file with a manipulated WMF header size, possibly involving an integer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-4560, and aka "WMF Image Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Heap-based buffer overflow in T2EMBED.DLL in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1, Windows 98, and Windows ME allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an e-mail message or web page with a crafted Embedded Open Type (EOT) web font that triggers the overflow during decompression.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the bitmap processing routine in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 on Windows 2000 SP4, Media Player 9 on Windows 2000 SP4 and XP SP1, and Media Player 10 on XP SP1 and SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted bitmap (.BMP) file that specifies a size of 0 but contains additional data.

Buffer overflow in the Message Queuing component of Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted message.

Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 Converter (MSWRD632.WPC), as used in WordPad, does not properly validate certain data lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .wri, .rtf, and .doc file sent by email or malicious web site, aka "Font Conversion Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0571.

Multiple buffer overflows in libpng 1.2.5 and earlier, as used in multiple products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed PNG images in which (1) the png_handle_tRNS function does not properly validate the length of transparency chunk (tRNS) data, or the (2) png_handle_sBIT or (3) png_handle_hIST functions do not perform sufficient bounds checking.

Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 Converter does not properly validate certain data lengths, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .wri, .rtf, and .doc file sent by email or malicious web site, aka "Table Conversion Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0901.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the HtmlHelp program (hh.exe) in HTML Help for Microsoft Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .CHM file with a large length field, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1041.

Double free vulnerability in mshtml.dll for certain versions of Internet Explorer 6.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed GIF image.

Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) up to and including build 5.0.3805 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by including a Java applet that invokes COM (Component Object Model) objects in a web site or an HTML mail.

The default configuration for the domain name resolver for Microsoft Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP sets the QueryIpMatching parameter to 0, which causes Windows to accept DNS updates from hosts that it did not query, which allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache.
