| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS11-038, 2476490) for 'Vulnerability in OLE Automation Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Automation. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a Web site containing a specially crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) image. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such a Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a malicious Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or Instant Messenger request.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which OLE Automation parses WMF files.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
