=0D
Overview:=0D
=0D
	A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the=0D
	Graphics Rendering Engine because of the way that it=0D
	handles Windows Metafile (WMF) images.=0D
=0D
	An attacker could exploit this by placing a specially=0D
	crafted WMF or EMF image on a webpage, or by sending=0D
	the image as an attachment in an e-mail.  The exploit=0D
	is triggered by viewing the specially crafted image=0D
	file.  No user interaction is required.=0D
=0D
	An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability=0D
	could take complete control of the affected system.=0D
=0D
=0D
Details:=0D
=0D
	A heap overflow vulnerability exists in the WMF=0D
	PolyPolygon function, because of an unchecked user-=0D
	supplied parameter.=0D
=0D
	Specifically, an integer overflow can occur because=0D
	the sum of the entries in the vertex counts array is=0D
	added to the number of polygons, then multiplied by=0D
	six. This calculation is done without checking if the=0D
	result overflows a 32-bit integer.=0D
=0D
	The result is passed to a memory allocation routine,=0D
	which will allocate a small memory buffer when an integer=0D
	overflow occurs.  The allocated buffer will then be filled=0D
	by the vertex data, which exceeds the size of the buffer,=0D
	causing heap corruption.=0D
=0D
	The manner of the heap corruption is under user control,=0D
	which can result in the execution of arbitrary code.=0D
=0D
=0D
Vendor Response:=0D
=0D
	The above vulnerability was addressed for the affected=0D
	platforms via Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-026. If=0D
	there are any further questions about this statement,=0D
please contact secure@microsoft.com.=0D 
=0D
=0D
Recommendation:=0D
=0D
	Follow your organization's testing procedures before=0D
	applying patches or workarounds.  Customers should apply=0D
	Microsoft's update as soon as possible.=0D
