MS10-043: Vulnerability in Canonical Display Driver Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2032276)

high Nessus Plugin ID 47711

Language:

Synopsis

It is possible to execute arbitrary code on the remote Windows host through the Canonical Display Driver.

Description

A flaw exists in the way the Microsoft Canonical Display Driver (cdd.dll) parses information copied from user mode to kernel mode.

If the Windows Aero theme is enabled, an attacker who tricks a user on the affected host into viewing a specially crafted image using an application that uses the APIs for GDI for rendering images can leverage this issue to cause the affected system to stop responding and restart or even to execute arbitrary code, although this is unlikely due to memory randomization.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows 7 and 2008 R2.
