Microsoft Windows XP Explorer allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a system folder with a Desktop.ini file containing a .ShellClassInfo specifier with a CLSID value that is associated with an executable file.

The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) component of Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition, and the Exchange Routing Engine component of Exchange Server 2003, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious DNS response message containing length values that are not properly validated.

Integer overflow in DUNZIP32.DLL for Microsoft Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via compressed (zipped) folders that involve an "unchecked buffer" and improper length validation.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Explorer on Windows XP SP1, WIndows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me may allow remote malicious servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long share names, as demonstrated using Samba.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Task Scheduler for Windows 2000 and XP, and Internet Explorer 6 on Windows NT 4.0, allows local or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .job file containing long parameters, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer and accessing a .job file on an anonymous share.

Unknown vulnerability in the Graphics Rendering Engine processes of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) Windows Metafile (WMF) or (2) Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image formats that involve "an unchecked buffer."

Buffer overflow in the JPEG (JPG) parsing engine in the Microsoft Graphic Device Interface Plus (GDI+) component, GDIPlus.dll, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with a small JPEG COM field length that is normalized to a large integer length before a memory copy operation.
