Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Microsoft Graphics Component, triggered when processing specially crafted input. The vulnerability requires local access and an existing authorized account on the system. An attacker with local user privileges can craft malicious input to overflow a stack buffer, overwrite the return pointer, and achieve arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. The attack is not remotely exploitable and requires an existing local account. Patches are expected to be available from Microsoft Security Response Center.
