MS05-012: Vulnerability in OLE and COM Could Allow Code Execution (873333)

high Nessus Plugin ID 16327

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host through Explorer.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Windows that is affected by two vulnerabilities when dealing with OLE and/or COM.

These vulnerabilities could allow a local user to escalate his privileges and allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.

To exploit these flaws, an attacker would need to send a specially crafted document to a victim on the remote host.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
