CVSS v3.1 |
| In Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer 9.29.1974.0, a low-privilege user can replace an executable file during the installation process, which may result in unintended elevation of privileges. During installation, the installer runs with HIGH integrity and downloads executables and DLLs to the %TEMP% folder - writable by standard users. Subsequently, the installer executes the downloaded executable with HIGH integrity to complete the application installation. However, an attacker can replace the downloaded executable with a malicious, user-controlled executable. When the installer executes this replaced file, it runs the attacker's code with HIGH integrity. Since code running at HIGH integrity can escalate to SYSTEM level by registering and executing a service, this creates a complete privilege escalation chain from standard user to SYSTEM. NOTE: The Supplier disputes this record stating that they have determined this to be the behavior as designed. |
| Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Graphics Kernel allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally. |
| Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Null pointer dereference in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in Quartz.dll for DirectShow; Windows Media Format Runtime 9, 9.5, and 11; Media Encoder 9; and the Asycfilt.dll COM component allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a media file with crafted compression data, aka "Media Decompression Vulnerability." |
| The QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 performs updates to pointers without properly validating unspecified data values, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime media file, aka "DirectX Pointer Validation Vulnerability." |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2006) and probably earlier, including 9.0c End User Runtimes, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Targa file with a run-length-encoding (RLE) compression that produces more data than expected when decoding. |
| Buffer overflow in Microsoft DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 10.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) WAV or (2) AVI file. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the DirectShow Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) parser in quartz.dll for Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 10.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SAMI file. |
| Buffer overflow in the Live Picture Corporation DXSurface.LivePicture.FlashPix.1 (DirectTransform FlashPix) ActiveX control in DXTLIPI.DLL 6.0.2.827, as packaged in Microsoft DirectX Media 6.0 SDK, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SourceUrl property value. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 and 8.1 on Windows 2000 SP4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file with crafted parameters for a Class Name variable, aka the "SAMI Format Parsing Vulnerability." |
| Use-after-free vulnerability in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 8.1 and 9.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an MJPEG file or video stream with a malformed Huffman table, which triggers an exception that frees heap memory that is later accessed, aka "MJPEG Decompression Vulnerability." |
| Unspecified vulnerability in the QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime media file, as exploited in the wild in May 2009, aka "DirectX NULL Byte Overwrite Vulnerability." |
| The QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll in DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 9.0c on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Windows Server 2003 SP2 does not properly validate unspecified size fields in QuickTime media files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, aka "DirectX Size Validation Vulnerability." |
| Microsoft DirectX 8.1 through 9.0c, and DirectX on Microsoft XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008, does not properly perform MJPEG error checking, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MJPEG stream in a (1) AVI or (2) ASF file, aka the "MJPEG Decoder Vulnerability." |
| IDirectPlay4 Application Programming Interface (API) of Microsoft DirectPlay 7.0a thru 9.0b, as used in Windows Server 2003 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet. |
| Multiple integer overflows in a Microsoft Windows DirectX MIDI library (QUARTZ.DLL) allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MIDI (.mid) file with (1) large length for a Text or Copyright string, or (2) a large number of tracks, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. |
