| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS07-064, KB941568) for 'Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in DirectX' has not been applied. Microsoft DirectX is a feature of the Microsoft Windows operating system used for streaming multimedia content. DirectX integrates DirectShow technology to provide high-quality capture of streaming media such as video and audio. Microsoft DirectX 7.0 through 10.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper parsing of WAV and AVI and SAMI files. By successfully persuading a user to access a specially-crafted WAV or AVI or SAMI file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the user.
* 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.
