The vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors in the Indeo codec and can be exploited to corrupt memory by tricking a user into viewing specially crafted media content. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Microsoft has issued an update that reduces the attack surface by preventing loading of Indeo content from the Internet zone in general and via Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. However, other third-party applications may still use it to render media content and thus present attack vectors.
