| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS06-055, KB925486) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in VML' has not been applied. Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer 6.x could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by a stack-based buffer overflow in the Vector Markup Language (VML) handling routine. By creating a malicious HTML document containing specially-crafted VML, a remote attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code if a user visited a Web site or viewed a specially crafted e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
