Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Indeo Codec in iac25_32.ax in Microsoft Windows XP SP3 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse iacenc.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by access through BS.Player or Media Player Classic to a directory that contains a .avi, .mka, .ra, or .ram file, aka "Indeo Codec Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability." NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Intel Indeo41 codec for Windows Media Player in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large size value in a movi record in an IV41 stream in a media file, as demonstrated by an AVI file.

Windows Media Player (WMP) 7 and 8, as running on Internet Explorer and possibly other Microsoft products that process HTML, allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions and access or execute arbitrary files via an IFRAME tag pointing to an ASF file whose Content-location contains a File:// URL.

Windows Media Player (WMP) 8.00.00.4477, and possibly other versions, automatically detects and executes .wmf and other content, even when the file's extension or content type does not specify .wmf, which could make it easier for attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via Trojan horse files containing .wmf content.
