Microsoft Windows Media Player 7

Buffer overflow in mplay32.exe of Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3 through 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long mp3 filename command line argument. NOTE: since the only known attack vector requires command line access, this may not be a vulnerability.

Buffer overflows in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) a long version tag in an .ASX file, or (2) a long banner tag, a variant of the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability as discussed in MS:MS00-090.

The WMP ActiveX Control in Windows Media Player 7 allows remote attackers to execute commands in Internet Explorer via javascript URLs, a variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Active Stream Redirector (.ASX) file, aka the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Windows Media Station (.NSC) 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 7 allows remote attackers to execute malicious Java applets in Internet Explorer clients by enclosing the applet in a skin file named skin.wmz, then referencing that skin in the codebase parameter to an applet tag, aka the Windows Media Player Skins File Download" vulnerability.

The DHTML capability in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, and 9 may run certain URL commands from a security zone that is less trusted than the current zone, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Windows Media Player 7 and earlier stores Internet shortcuts in a user's Temporary Files folder with a fixed filename instead of in the Internet Explorer cache, which causes the HTML in those shortcuts to run in the Local Computer Zone instead of the Internet Zone, which allows remote attackers to read certain files.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service in RTF-enabled email clients via an embedded OCX control that is not closed properly, aka the "OCX Attachment" vulnerability.

Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 executes scripts in custom skin (.WMS) files, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via a skin that contains a malicious script, aka the ".WMS Script Execution" vulnerability.
